ON MARY

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

There is no more excellent way to obtain graces from God than to seek them through Mary, because her Divine Son cannot refuse her anything.

St. Philip Neri

* * *

When the Holy Spirit finds that a soul has drawn close to Mary, his dear and inseparable spouse, He quickens His activity of forming Jesus Christ.

With reason is Mary called the Virgin; for  she, without the counsel or example of others, was the first who offered her virginity to God.

Albert the Great
