Without Mary…

Without Mary’s cooperation with grace, we would not have the Divine Mercy. Mary not only gives us Jesus, but she also helps us to listen with our hearts, hear His voice, and receive His grace. Mary helps us rediscover God’s healing mercy…

  • Mary’s faith helps to heal our unbelief.
  • Mary’s humility helps to heal our pride.
  • Mary’s receptivity helps to heal our resistance.
  • Mary’s hope helps to heal our discouragement.
  • Mary’s love helps to heal our brokenness.
  • Mary’s mercy helps to heal our wounds.
  • Mary’s courage helps us to slay our Goliaths.

The rosary is my…

The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth. In the prayer we repeat many times the words that the Virgin Mary heard from the Archangel, and from her kinswoman Elizabeth.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)

Mother of God…

The title of Mary as our mother is not merely symbolic. Mary is our mother in the most real and lofty sense, a sense which surpasses that of earthly maternity. She begot our life of grace for us because she offered up her entire being, body and soul, as the Mother of God. That is why an intimate bond exists between Mary and ourselves. She loves us, she knows us, she exerts herself to bring each one of us into the closest possible relationship with the Lord – that which we are above all supposed to be.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)

W/o help of the Blessed Mother…

Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
