One of the titles by which we address Our Blessed Mother in the Litany of Loreto is Mirror of Justice, Speculum Iustitiae.
Simply put, the title reminds us that we see in Mary the image of how to live in obedience to God’s law and so grow in the
likeness of Christ, that is, grow in the pure and selfless love of God and of our neighbor. – Raymond Leo Burke, D.D., J.C.D.
