St. Augustine: “Him whom the heavens cannot contain, the womb of one woman bore. She ruled our Ruler; she carried Him in whom we are; she gave milk to our Bread.”
St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Go to this Mother of Mercy and show her the wounds which thy sins have left on thy soul; will she certainly entreat her Son, by the breast that gave him suck, to pardon thee all. And this divine Son, who loves her so tenderly, will most certainly grant her petition.”
St. Bonaventure: “As the moon, which stands between the sun and the earth, transmits to this latter whatever it receives from the former, so does Mary pour out upon us who are in this world the heavenly graces that she receives from the divine sun of justice.”
St. Padre Pio: “May the Most Holy Virgin, who was the first to practice the gospel perfectly…even before it was proclaimed, spur us on to follow closely in her footsteps…“How many times I have entrusted to this Mother the painful anxieties of my heart. And how many times she has consoled me.”
