“It was only fitting that the Virgin to whose care God the Father was pleased to confide His only Son should shine with a dazzling purity surpassing all but that of God Himself."  - St. Anselm

Jesus said, "I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion...When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer:   O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus, as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You." WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA. (Diary 186-187)

“It is not a sin merely to have an impure thoughts. Dispelling them is to exercise virtue.”   St. Pio of Pietrelcina

“Once the idea is introduced that one may take the life of a person because he is not useful to the state, then it will not be long before we are taking his life because his ideas are not the same as those of the state.  In 1936 Hitler introduced the idea of merciless killing under the lying title of ‘Charitable Foundation for Institutional Care.’  The basic principal was that those who could not be of benefit to society should be killed.  Up to the outbreak of the war 275,000 people were put to death.  Once the door was opened for destroying the sanctity of a single personality, there was nothing to stop slaughter.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is worth Living)

Living in Mary means to love Mary with all our heart. It means to love Mary so much that we are able to live as if we truly inhabited her Immaculate Heart. —St. Louis Grignion de Montfort

The Rosary mystically transports us to Mary's side as she is busy watching over the human growth of Christ in the home of Nazareth. This enables her to train us and to mold us with the same care, until Christ is ''fully formed'' in us... Why should we not once more have recourse to the Rosary, with the same faith as those who have gone before us?  Pope St. John Paul II

“My heart breaks when I think of the sorrows of the most holy Virgin. Oh tender Mother, unutterable was Thy grief in finding Thyself deprived of your dear Son, and then in beholding Him dead in Thy arms! Ah! who can realize the sadness of Mary when She returned to Bethany after the burial of her Son? Jesus expires on the cross! He is dead that we may have life. All creation mourns: the sun darkens, the earth trembles, the rocks burst, and the veil of the temple is rent in twain; my heart alone remains harder than a rock!” (St. Paul of the Cross)
