5 Quotes about Mary, mother of God by Different Saints We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour 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 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 Mary having co-operated in our redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, Our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession. St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori Men do not fear a powerful hostile army as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of Mary. St. Bonaventure To give worthy praise to the Lord s mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn will be more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through Her, as through a pure crystal, Your mercy was passed on to us. Through Her, man became pleasing to God; Through Her, streams of grace flowed down upon us. (1746) St. Faustina Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did. Saint Maximilian Kolbe Before, by yourself, you couldn t. Now, you ve turned to our Lady, and with her, how easy! St. Josemaria Escriva In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Father and Doctor of the Church O sinner, be not discouraged, but have recourse to Mary in all you necessities. Call her to your assistance, for such is the divine Will that she should help in every kind of necessity. Saint Basil the Great Mary, give me your Heart: so beautiful, so pure, so immaculate; your Heart so full of love and humility that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life and love Him as you love Him and serve Him in the distressing guise of the poor. Blessed Mother Teresa 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 When we were little, we kept close to our mother in a dark alley or if dogs barked at us. Now, when we feel temptations of the flesh, we should run to the side of our Mother in Heaven, by realizing how she is to us, and by means of aspirations. She will defend us and lead us to the light. St. Josemaria Escriva The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spread of God s kingdom. St. Maximilian Kolbe 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. Blessed Mother Teresa
