Where Mary is, there the evil spirit is not.

 
St. Louis de Montfort, 18th century

Mary is the sanctuary, she is the mercy seat,
she is the ark of the covenant, she is the urn
containing the endlessly sweet manna from heaven.

 
St. Thomas of Villanova, 16th century

Our Lady’s love is like a limpid stream
that has its source in the Eternal Fountains,
quenches the thirst of all, can never be drained,
and ever flows back to its source.

 
Bl. Marguerite Bourgeoys, 17th century

It would be more advantageous for the world
to be without the sun, moon, and stars
than to be without Mary.

 
St. Lawrence of Brindisi, 16h century

Mary is the safest, surest,
most perfect way to the Infinite,
to unite us with uncreated Love.

Mary, Mother of God, you are an ever shining light.

 
St. Cyril of Alexandria, 5th century

Who can imagine Mary
who was worthy to be the Mother of God,
who for nine months had as a guest in her heart
and in her womb, the Son of God Himself.

 
St. Bernadine of Siena, 15th century

Imagine the boundless confidence God himself had
in entrusting his only Son to Mary;
and she remained ever faithful.

 
St. Vincent Pallotti, 19th century
