Ps 44:13
“As breathing is not only a sign
but even, a cause of life,
so the name of Mary,
which is constantly found
on the lips of God’s servants,
both proves that they are truly alive
and, at the same time,
causes and preserves their life
and gives them, every succour . . .
may Your name, O Mother of God,
be the last sound that escapes my lips!”
St Germanus of Constantinople
“The name of Mary
is a tower of strength,
which saves sinners from punishment
and defends the just
from the assaults of hell.”

“Wherever you may go,
or wherever you may be,
implore Jesus and call upon Mary . . .
Sing these two names,
sing them in your heart,
sing them with your lips,
sing them with your hands.”
Thomas à Kempis
“The name of Mary
is the key
to the gates of Heaven.”

“Your name, O Mary, is a precious ointment,

Let this ointment of salvation
enter the inmost recesses of our souls.”
