Quote/s of the Day – 5 August – “The Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” – Dedication of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows – Sirach 24:14-16: Luke 11:27-28 – Scripture search here:

Blessed is the womb which bore thee

Luke 11:27

No matter how sinful
one may have been,
if he has devotion to Mary,
it is impossible that he be lost.

St Hilary (315-368)
Father and Doctor of the Church

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)
Father & Doctor of the Church

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)
Bishop, Father of the Church

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)
Doctor of the Church
