St. Louis Marie de MontFort on the Blessed Mother


"If you put all the love of all the mothers into one heart it still would not equal the love of the Heart of Mary for her children.”

“She [Mary] is an echo of God, speaking and repeating only God. If you say "Mary" she says 'God'.”

"Mary is the fruitful Virgin, and in all the souls in which she comes to dwell she causes to flourish purity of heart and body, rightness of intention and abundance of good works. Do not imagine that Mary, the most fruitful of creatures who gave birth to a God, remains barren in a faithful soul. It will be she who makes the soul live incessantly for Jesus Christ, and will make Jesus live in the soul"

"Mary alone gives to the unfortunate children of unfaithful Eve entry into that earthly paradise where they may walk pleasantly with God and be safely hidden from their enemies. There they can feed without fear of death on the delicious fruit of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They can drink copiously the heavenly waters of that beauteous fountain which gushes forth in such abundance."

On Doing God's Will


In Heaven the good God will do all I wish, because I have never done my own will upon earth.                                          - St. Therese of the Child Jesus
