Thoughts on the affinity of Mary and the Decalogue please.
 
What do you mean, exactly? I’m not sure what the question is asking. Please elaborate.

I’m guessing maybe any relationship between Mary and the Ten Commandments. but having said that, I’m not very much the wiser, unfortunately.

OP, can you explain, please?
 
I am hoping to read what others might be inclined to say. I have nothing to gain if I hear only mine own thoughts.

I was reading Psalm xviii in the Little Office and noticed the use of the word ‘Lex Domini immaculata’ and also ‘immaculatus ero’.

I understand it may not directly be Marian although I must submit that every word of Scripture is Marian as every word of Scripture contains the Eternal Word, Jesus Christ.

Perhaps, I will read it as Mary as the example of perfect adherence Her Son, whose Commandments are ‘sweeter than honeycomb’

Mary is His Mother and it is truly proper to glorify her as the Theotokos, but to say “every word of Scripture is Marian” seems a bit extreme. I don’t think the Church teaches it, either.

Mary followed the example of her kinswoman Elizabeth, and her husband Zacharias, who were the parents of John the Baptist.

Luke 1:5-7
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

She taught this way of life to her Son, who perfectly fulfilled all the commandments.
