Then I heard the words, "I am glad you behaved like My true daughter. Be always merciful as I am merciful. Love everyone out of love for Me, even your greatest enemies, so that My mercy may be fully reflected in your heart"   WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA   (Diary, 1695)

“Even while living in the world, the heart of Mary was so filled with motherly tenderness and compassion for men that no one ever suffered so much for their own pains, as Mary suffered for the pains of her children.”   - Saint Jerome

“What a beautiful lesson of obedience is given to us in the divine Child of Nazareth.  There is no evidence that He ever gave to Mary and Joseph just the nominal right to command, rather, the Scripture says He lived there in subjection to them.  Imagine, God subject to man – God, before whom the angels and principalities tremble, is subject to Mary and to Joseph.  Here are two great miracles of humility and exaltation: the God-man obeying a woman, and a woman commanding the God-man, and that obedience lasted for thirty years.  By this long span of voluntary obedience, He revealed that the Fourth Commandment is the bedrock of family life.  In a larger way, how else could the primal sin of disobedience against God be undone except by the obedience in the flesh of the very God who was once defied.  It was Lucifer who said, ‘I will not obey,’ and Eden caught up that echo.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Bishop Sheen Catechism)
