I therefore command all my Brothers, those living now and those to come in the future, to venerate the Holy Mother of God, whom we always implore to be our Protectress, to praise her at all times, in all circumstances of life, with all the means in their power and with the greatest devotion and submission.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
If you are in danger, if your hearts are confused, turn to Mary; she is our comfort, our help; turn towards her and you will be saved.
–Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
It’s impossible to lose your footing when you’re on your knees. –Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
As the mother knows the needs better than the babe, so the Blessed Mother understands our cries and worries and knows them better than we know ourselves.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The humble, simple souls, who are little enough to see the bigness of God in the littleness of a Babe, are therefore the only ones who will ever understand the reason of His visitation. He came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the Good God could say: ‘you give me your humanity, and I will give you my Divinity; you give me your time, and I will give you My eternity; you give me your broken heart, and I will give you Love; you give me your nothingness, and I will give you My all.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
