Let us therefore give ourselves to God with a great desire to begin to live thus, and beg Him to destroy in us the life of the world of sin, and to establish His life within us.
John EudesNo one who shall invoke this Mother of Grace with devotion and perseverance can possibly perish forever.
John EudesOur wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make his spirit, his devotion, his affections, his desire, and his disposition live and reign there.

John EudesA Christian has a union with Jesus Christ more noble, more intimate and more perfect than the members of a human body have with their head.
John EudesI ask you to consider that our Lord Jesus Christ is your true head and that you are a member of his body. He belongs to you as the head belongs to the body. All that is his is yours: breath, heart, body, soul and all his faculties. All of these you must use as if they belonged to you, so that in serving him you may give him praise, love and glory.
John Eudes
