The Mother of God shared our condition.
She had to take the same path as ourselves,
a path which is sometimes difficult and obscure.
She had to advance in the 'pilgrimage of faith'.

 
Pope Francis, 21st century

If our life were not under Mary’s protection,
we might tremble for our perseverance and salvation.

Let your true devotion to your loving mother Mary,
be manifest everywhere and to everyone.

 
St. Louis de Montfort, 18th century

We entrust ourselves to Mary,
because she dries our tears with compassion,
and with kindness comforts our hearts.

 
St. Luigi Guanella, 20th century

God is the Father by whom all things were given life,
and Mary,
the mother through whom all things were given new life.

 
St. Anselm, 12th century

Let us entrust our journey to the Immaculate Virgin,
whose spirit exulted in God the Savior.
May she be the one to guide our hearts
in the joyous expectation of the coming of Jesus.

 
Benedict XVI, 20th century

Only after the last judgment will Mary get any rest;
from now on until then,
she is much too busy with her children.

 
St. John Vianney, 19th century

Only the Immaculate Virgin
presents herself absolutely pure before the Divine Majesty.
Since she loves us and since she knows our weakness,
what have we to fear?
