If there is any hope for us, any health or any grace,
it comes to us from her to whom he Lord himself
gave the fullness of grace.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Venerate her with filial affection
to grow in her love and to radiate to the world
the presence of this Woman of silence and prayer,
invoked as Mother of Mercy, Mother of Hope and Grace.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

The praise which we offer to the Mother
redounds to the honor of the Son.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

If you are in need, Mary will help you.
She does not look to see what kind of a person you have been.
She simply comes to a heart that wants to love her.

 
St. Gabriel Possenti, 19th century

In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary;
call on Mary.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

With your hand in hers, you will never stumble.
With her protecting you, you will never be afraid.
With her leading you, you will never tire;
her kindness will see you through to the end.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Mary is with us, among us. She protects and helps us.
She leads us along the sure road.

 
Bl. Pope John XXIII, 20th century

Mary is our mother,
not of the flesh, of course, but spiritually;
the mother of souls, of our salvation.

 
St. Alphonse Liguori, 18th century
