“All to Jesus through Mary,
all to Mary for Jesus.”
St Marcellin Champagnat (1789-1840)
“No matter how enormous our sins may be,
no matter how irresistible our carnal instincts may seem,
no matter how hopelessly we may have plunged
into the depths of evil,
it is enough for us to raise our eyes
in confidence towards Mary.
… Like a merciful Mother,
she will obtain for us from God,
forgiveness and the strength
to return to the path of penitence and of peace.
… Let us turn to her with trust and humility
and she will certainly assist us.”
AnaStpaul
