As her little children,
let us cast ourselves into Mary’s arms
with perfect confidence.

for through her we have been born;
not for the world but for God.

I am a compassionate mother to you
and to all of my devoted children
who will call upon me with confidence.

We should let ourselves be guided and led by Mary,
and rest quiet and secure in her hands.

 
St. Maximillian Kolbe, 20th century

We turn to you for protection, holy Mother of God;
listen to our prayers and help us in our needs.
Deliver us from all danger, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.

 
'Sub Tuum Praesidium', 3rd century

From the moment Mary entered the pages of history
she became our model.
She teaches by example, all that we need to learn.

 
Servant of God, Catherine Doherty, 20th century

We can run to Mary, and as her children,
throw ourselves into her arms with perfect confidence.

Dearest Mother, look on your people
who confidently honor you as their mother.
Comfort us in our pains and stand by us in all distress.
