“Mary signifies “Light-Giver”
or “Star of the Sea”
for she gave birth
to the Light of the World.
In the Syriac tongue, however,
Mary means “Lady” and beautifully so,
since she gave birth to the Lord.”
St Isidore of Seville (c560-636)

“Being thy servant, O Mary,
is a surety of salvation
which God grants solely,
to those He will save!”
St Andrew of Crete (660-740)

“When we appeal to the throne of grace,
we do so through Mary,
honouring God by honouring His Mother,
imitating Him, by exalting her,
touching the most responsive chord
in the Sacred Heart of Christ,
with the sweet name of Mary!”
St Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621)
