Thus the blessed Mother of Christ, knowing that she is the mother of all Christians by reason of this mystery, shows herself a mother by her care and loving attention. For her heart is not hardened against these children as if they were not her own; her womb carried a child once only, yet it remains ever fruitful, never ceasing to bring forth the fruits of her motherly compassion.
–Blessed Guerric of Igny (c. 1075-1157)
Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, because she is the sea to be crossed to reach the shores of Eternal Splendor.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
May the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
It is Our Lady who is working in me in these days, trying to awaken in me, bring out new worlds to light, draw me into her Christ Who is the center of all. And she does this when I go to her.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
No matter how sinful one may have been, if he has devotion to Mary, it is impossible that he be lost.
–Saint Hilary of Poitiers (c. 300-368)
I have been amazed that some are utterly in doubt as to whether or not the Holy Virgin is able to be called the Mother of God. For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the Holy Virgin who bore him not be the Mother of God?
–Saint Cyril of Alexandria (378-444)
