Jesus is the mediator of justice; Mary obtains for us grace; for, as St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. Germanus, St. Antoninus, and others say, it is the will of God to dispense through the hands of Mary whatever graces he is pleased to bestow upon us. With God, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of His friends, but the prayers of Mary are the prayers of His mother.

How, then, shall God give himself entirely to that one who, besides his God, loves creatures still?

The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.

Mary having co-operated in our redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, Our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession.

Without prayer it is impossible to resist temptations and to keep the commandments.

The saved are few, but we must live with the few if we would be saved with the few. O God, too few indeed they are: yet amongst those few I wish to be!

Those who say the Rosary daily and wear the Brown Scapular and who do a little more, will go straight to Heaven.
