The love Mary has for us…
The fullness of love in all the mothers of this earth could never equal the love Mary has for each one of us.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)

Mary is the Star of the Sea. She never forsakes those who trust in Her, so let us get under Her protecting mantle. She will lead us out of the danger and guide us safely to port.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Above all, be deeply, sincerely, and constantly devoted to the Blessed Virgin. If you could only understand how important this is, you would not trade it for all the gold in the world! Therefore, cherish this devotion. I hope and pray that you may one day say, “All good things came to me together with it.” (Wisdom 7:11)
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Remember the goodness of the Lord in his treatment of you up until now. He will continue his work of perfection to your benefit. He will continue to pour out abundantly on you not only the oil of his mercy to make you rejoice but also the oil of his power to make you strong to fight successfully.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
In the case of a detached man who draws his senses inward from external objects and establishes himself in the inner castle of his soul, the less he finds within to cling to, the more painful are his interior sufferings, and the more quickly he dies, the more swiftly he bursts through to God.
–Blessed Henry Suso (c. 1295 – 1366)
A good meditation, even when it is interrupted by occasional nodding, is much more beneficial than many outward religious exercises.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
