“Like the bodies of the saints, however, she has been held in honor for her character and understanding. And if I should say anything more in her praise, she is like Elijah, who was virgin from his mother’s womb, always remained so, and was taken up, but has not seen death.”
St. John Damascene

St. John Paul II
If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon Our Lady. Just say this simple prayer, “Mary, mother of jesus, please be a mother to me now.” I must admit, this prayer has never failed me.
Mother Teresa
“Mary guides us in knowing the mysteries of the Lord: and as in her and with her we understand the meaning of the cross, so in her and with her we come to grasp the meaning of the Resurrection, enjoying the joy that emanates from this experience.”
St. John Paul II
“I have never known a person to have been truly devoted to St. Joseph and to have rendered him special honor without seeing him advance rapidly in virtue; because the holy patriarch assists with special care those who recommend themselves to him…”

“The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.”
St. Padre Pio
“Always remain close to the Catholic Church, because it alone can give you true peace, since it alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the true Prince of Peace.”
St. Padre Pio
“It is definite that only a few chosen ones do not go to Purgatory and the sufferings there that one must endure exceed our imagination.”
St. John Vianney
