“By asking the beloved disciple
to treat Mary as his mother,
Jesus founded Marian devotion.”

“The Mother of God,
is the Ladder of Heaven.
God came down by this Ladder
that men might,
by Mary,
climb up to Him in Heaven.”
St Fulgentius (460-533)
“Consider this great mystery!
The Son of God has passed whole and entire,
from the heart of the Father
to the womb of Mary
and from the womb of the Mother
to the lap of the Church.”
St Peter Damian (1007-72) Doctor of the Church
“Let us not imagine that we obscure
the glory of the Son by the great praise
we lavish on the Mother;
for the more she is honoured,
the greater is the glory of her Son.
There can be no doubt that whatever we say
in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.”
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) – Doctor of the Church
