He who  wishes  to  find  Jesus  will  do  so  only  by having  recourse  to  Mary. — St. Alphonsus.

Mary having  always  lived  wholly  detached  from earthly things  and  united  with  God,  death,  which united her  more  closely  to  Him,  was  extremely sweet and  agreeable  to  her. — St. Alphonsus.

Mary being  in  heaven  nearer  to  God  and  more united to  Him,  knows  our  miseries  better,  compassionates them  more,  and  can  more  efficaciously assist us. — St. Alphonsus.

The Virgin  Mother,  all  pure  and  all  white,  will make her  servants  pure  and  white. — St. Alphonsus.

To assure  our  salvation  it  does  not  suffice  to call  ourselves  children  of  Mary,  therefore  let  us always  have  the  fear  of  God. — St. Teresa.

Let us  offer  ourselves  without  delay  and  without reserve  to  Mary,  and  beg  her  to  offer  us  herself to  God. — St. Alphonsus.

Such is  the  compassion,  such  the  love  which Mary bears  us,  that  she  is  never  tired  of  praying for  us. — St. Alphonsus.
