"That love is a messenger is told in the veil which a woman wears on her wedding day. The veil is not, even among the Moslems, to make woman ineffective, nor to hide her personality: rather, the veil among all peoples is a symbol of the invisible. It is a sign that all has not been disclosed, that there are mysteries not yet sounded, treasures not yet discovered." Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen - The Power of Love

"Immaculate Virgin! Your spotless spiritual beauty is for us a living source of confidence and hope. To have you as Mother, Holy Virgin, reassures us on the path of life as a pledge of eternal salvation. Because of this, O Mary, we have recourse to you with confidence. Help us to build a world where human life is always cherished and defended, every form of violence banished, the peace of all tenaciously sought."   - Pope St. John Paul II

“Don't make an effort to overcome your temptations, because these efforts would strengthen them. Despise them and do not dwell on them. Call to your imagination, Jesus Christ Crucified in your arms and on your breast. And say, kissing his side a number of times: "this is my hope; the living source of my happiness. I will hold You tightly, Jesus, and will not let You go until You have placed me in a safe place."  St. Pio of Pietrelcina
“Beg the Lord to bind your hearts together into one, which will be His own, and to strengthen you in your work.”   – St. Vincent de Paul
