Maria's speech may not have been especially profound, but it gave him an out, and it helps (or doesn't, depending on your perspective) that he's already started to identify her with the Virgin Mary, giving her an aura of divine authority.

Do also note that he's based on Bernard of Clairvaux, who was super weird about Mary (link NSFW).

He also began to kiss her feet which is, in some way a sign of holy reverence if I recall correctly.
