Pray to the Mother who protects and accompanies us,
our Mother, for the gift of openness to the Holy Spirit.

 
Pope Francis

Mary, with the humble courage of a mother,
became the protector for children,
the defense of the oppressed;
always going to the culture of the people.

 
Pope Francis

Mary is the city of refuge.

 
St. Anthony of Padua, 13th century

May the Mother who protects and accompanied us
obtain for us that persevering joy
that never falters or fades.

 
Pope Francis, 21st century

Most holy mother of Jesus,
you who saw and felt the extreme desolation
of your dear Son,
help me in my time of desolation.

 
St. Bernadette Soubirous, 19th century

If you are in danger, if your hearts are confused,
turn to Mary. She is our comfort, our help.

 
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, 20th century

Abandon yourself into the hands of Mary;
she will take care of you.

 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 20th century

What a joy to remember
that the Virgin Mary is our Mother.
Since she loves us and knows our weakness,
what have we to fear?
