All the sins of your life seem to be rising up against you. Don’t give up hope! On the contrary, call your holy mother Mary, with the faith and abandonment of a child. She will bring peace to your soul.
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
There is no danger of exaggerating. We never hope to fathom this inexpressible mystery nor will we ever be able to give sufficient thanks to our Mother for bringing us into such intimacy with the Blessed Trinity.
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
So your strength is failing you? Why don’t you tell your mother about it? … Call her with a loud voice. She is listening to you; she sees you in danger, perhaps, and she—your holy mother Mary—offers you, along with the grace of her son, the refuge of her arms, the tenderness of her embrace . . . and you will find yourself with added strength for the new battle.
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
Be cheerful! Jesus will take care of everything. Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are talking about. Let us trust in Jesus and our heavenly Mother, and everything will work out well.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Love of Mary and devotion to her are a sure sign of obtaining eternal salvation.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
