for sinners rather than for the just,
since Jesus declares that he came to call not the just,
but sinners.

The more we look to Mary 
in our prayers,
contemplation, actions, and sufferings,

the more perfectly will we find Jesus.

let me walk with you every moment of my life.

holy Mother of God.

 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 16th century

Mary is the mother
who patiently and tenderly leads us to God,
that he may untie the knots in our soul.

The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God
is the heart of a mother.
