Let us not imagine
that we obscure the glory of the Son
by the praise we lavish on the Mother;
The more she is honored, the greater is his glory.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

The Virgin Mary was, here on earth,
the loving Mother of the Divine Redeemer,
the noblest of all his companions,
and the humble servant of the Lord.

 
'Lumen Gentium'

Mary is the most sweet bait, chosen, prepared,
and ordained by God, to catch the hearts of all. 

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

Through Mary, we come to her Son more easily.

 
St. John Paul II, 20th century

Mary, the dawn;
Christ, the perfect day.

 
Marian Hymn

We owe Mary,
for she is the mother of Our Lord.

 
St. Aelred, 12th century

In going out of her home, of herself, for love,
Mary takes with her the most precious thing she has:
Jesus.

 
Pope Francis, 21st century

You, O Virgin Mary,
are like a clear and shining sky,
in which God has set his tent.

 
St. Sophronius of Jerusalem, 7th century
