He who has recourse to Mary shall be saved. -St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori No one, not even a sinner, who devoutly recommends himself to her shall ever become the prey of Hell. -St. Catherine of Siena However great a sinner may have been, if he shows himself devout to Mary he will never perish. -St. Hilary of Poitiers Mary was made Mother of God to obtain salvation for many who, on account of their wicked lives, could not be saved according to the rigor of Divine justice, but might be saved with the help of her sweet mercy and powerful intercession. -St. John Chrysostom The Saints assert that anyone who prays to the Mother of God in time of temptation will be preserved from sin, and that whoever approaches her with perfect trust throughout his life will surely be saved. -St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe My children, if you desire perseverance, be devout to our Blessed Lady. -St. Philip Neri Mary obtains salvation for all who have recourse to her.

How many sins have I committed for which thou hast obtained pardon for me, and how many others would I have committed if thou hadst not preserved me? How often have I seen myself on the brink of Hell in obvious danger of falling into it but for thy most benign hand which saved me? How often would the Roaring Lion of Hell have devoured and swallowed up my soul had not the charity of thy heart opposed him? Alas! Without thee, my dearest and my all-good Mother, where should I be today? I should be in the fiery furnace of Hell from which I would never emerge! -St. John Eudes Would that everyone might know that I would be already damned if it were not for Mary! -St. Louis Marie de Montfort Do you want certain salvation? Then have great devotion to the Virgin Mary... She will guarantee your salvation.

I desire to obtain a greater and more tender love for thee. Obtain this for me; because to love thee is a great sign of predestination and a grace which God does not grant except to those whom He will save ... If thou dost not assist me, I shall be lost. No. No one can be lost who recommends himself to thee. In thy hands, therefore, do I place my eternal salvation and to thee do I consign my soul, which was lost, but which thou wilt save by thy holy intercession. -St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence. -Saint Francis de Sales E-MAIL HOME----------SAINTS-----------QUOTE OF THE WEEK----------MEMORABLE QUOTES www.catholictradition.org/Saint/saintly-quotes23.htm
