No one ever gave themselves so perfectly or so absolutely to the Divine Majesty as Mary did. She was more perfectly obedient to the Word of God than any other creature. Moreover, she was more submissive than anyone else ever was. The one who gives all reserves nothing. But what, I ask you, does it mean to give all to God? It is not to reserve for oneself anything which may not be for God, not even one affection or desire
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
And if our wretchedness saddens us, if our ingratitude for God terrorizes us, if the memory of our faults hinders us from presenting ourselves to God our Father, let us then have recourse to Mary our Mother. She is all sweetness, mercy, goodness, and love for us because she is our Mother.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Mary’s which purifies the monotony of your sins!
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
If anyone does not believe that Holy Mary is the Mother of God, such a one is a stranger to the Godhead.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329- c. 391)
In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
