“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.”
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Martyr
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Martyr
”Jesus honored her before all ages, and will honor her for all ages. No one comes to Him, nor even near Him, no one is saved or sanctified, if he too will not honor her. This is the lot of Angels and of men.”
2. On the cross Jesus commanded us to take Mary into our homes (our hearts)
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Martyr
“If anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his Mother, he will not have Christ for his Brother.”
Saint Bonaventure, Doctor of the Church
“Mary seeks for those who approach her devoutly and with reverence, for such she loves, nourishes, and adopts as her children.”
3. Mary’s greatest desire is for our greater unity with her Son, Jesus
“We never give more honor to Jesus than when we honor his Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek – Jesus, her Son.”
Saint Louis Marie de Montfort
Saint Cardinal John Henry New
“The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.”
4. Mary cares for her Children and entrustment to her
Immaculate heart is the easiest way to heaven
“If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.”
St. John Vianney
“If you ever feel distressed during your day — call upon our Lady — just say this simple prayer: ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.’ I must admit — this prayer has never failed me.”
Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)
St. Josemaria Escriva
“Love our Lady. And she will obtain abundant grace to help you conquer in your daily struggle.”
5. There is no more perfect way to holiness and to Jesus than through our Mother Mary
“The greatest saints, those richest in grace and virtue will be the most assiduous in praying to the most Blessed Virgin, looking up to her as the perfect model to imitate and as a powerful helper to assist them.”
Saint Louis Marie de Montfort
“Have you strayed from the path leading to heaven? Then call on Mary, for her name means “Star of the Sea, the North Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life,” and she will guide you to the harbor of eternal salvation.”
St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, The Secret Of The Rosary
