O Virgin all holy, lead us in peace,
and having brought us without shame to the throne of judgment,
grant us a place at the right hand of your Son,
that we may be borne off to heaven
and sing with angels to the uncreated, consubstantial Trinity.

 
Basil of Seleucia, 5th century

Mary intercedes for us
and leads us through the darkness of our trials
to the radiant dawn of an encounter
with the Risen Christ.

 
His Holiness, Benedict XVI

Mary’s life was so simple, absorbed in God;
Even the most common things were divinized in her,
because the Virgin was always adoring the gift of God
in all her actions.

 
Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, 20th century

Prayer is powerful beyond limits when we turn
to the Immaculata who is Queen
even of God's heart.

 
St. Maximilian Kolbe, 20th century

In danger of sinning, when assailed by temptations,
when doubtful as to how you should act,
remember that Mary can help you,
and if you call upon her, she will instantly help you.

 
St. Alphonsus Liguori, 18th century

The contemplation of Christ
has an incomparable model in Mary.
She lived with her eyes fixed on Christ.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae; Pope John Paul II

There is no storm
that can shipwreck the most sweet heart of Mary.
When you see the squall coming,
if you seek safety in the firm refuge that is Mary,
there will be no danger of your being hurled off course or going down.

 
St. Josemaria Escriva, 20th century

Follow the example of her life
and you will obtain the favor of her prayer.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century
