--"When God was about to redeem the human race, He deposited the whole price in Mary's hands."

---"So long as she (the Virgin Mary) is in your mind, you are safe from deception."

---Let us work for the food which does not perish---our salvation. Let us work in the vineyard of the Lord to earn our daily wage in the wisdom which says: Those who work in me will not sin. Christ tells us: The field is the world. Let us work in it and dig up wisdom, its hidden treasure, a treasure we all seek and want to obtain."

St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153)
