* "If doing God's will means to live like Jesus, it also means to live like Mary. And this is the best way to show our devotion to her and to be her children. For she says, 'I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.' (Lk 1:38)"
~ Chiara Lubich

* "Mary showed complete trust in God by agreeing to be used as an instrument in His plan of salvation. She trusted Him in spite of her nothingness because she knew He who is mighty could do great things in her and through her."
~ St Mother Teresa

* "The Virgin did not merely pronounce her Fiat; in every moment, she fulfilled that firm and irrevocable decision. So should we."
~ St Josemaria Escriva

* "When the little boat of our life is taking on water and the waves of the storm threaten, we utter a name that comes to the lips of those who suffer, even in their dying breath: Mother. This does not always refer to mothers on earth; indeed, for a soul a bit familiar with eternal things, it means 'Mary.'
~ Chiara Lubich

* "Mary having co-operated in our redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession."
~ St Alphonsus de Liguori

* "O sinner, be not discouraged, but have recourse to Mary in all your necessities. Call her to your assistance, for such is the Divine Will that she should help in every kind of necessity."
~ St Basil the Great

* "Didn't we say that we all wanted to belong to her [Mary]? I'm sure that many of you have declared yourselves hers, all hers, in order to become closer to Jesus. ... those who go to Jesus through Mary find the road to sanctity much smoother, travel more swiftly, and reach the goal."
~ Chiara Lubich

* "The greatest saints, those richest in grace and virtue, will be the most assiduous in praying to the Most Blessed Virgin, looking up to her as the perfect model to imitate and as a powerful helper to assist them.”
~ St Louis de Montfort

"... your faith has made you well."

Jesus has revealed to us God's immense love for each one of us, and He has the power to change our lives. Do we trust Him, His love and power?

Only in believing in His love gives us the courage and humility to come to Him for help in prayer. When we come to Him in faith, the power of God can change us and transform our situation for the better.

* "This is the step we have to take today: Always give Him what is 'ours,' and do it more quickly, immediately. Give, give, give. Not to get rid of it, but as an offering of love. This is the only way He'll do his part and tell you: 'All that is mine is yours."
~ Chiara Lubich

* "Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing. Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could."
~ St Gregory Nazianzen

* "What has He done for me? He has loved me and given me His whole self. What shall I do for Him? I shall love Him and give myself to Him without reserve."
~ St Ignatius of Loyola

* "Dili gayud nimo makaplagan ang gihandom sa imong kasing-kasing dinhi sa yuta. Ang persona nga ginamithi sa atong kalag (tungod kay mga tawo man kita) walay lain kondili si Hesus. Matuman unta ang pag-ampo ni San Francisco ilabi na diha sa atong kasing-kasing kay ang tanan sa atong kinabuhi nagasubay man sa atong galamhan: "Dios ko, Ikaw ang Tanan kanako."
~ Chiara L. (Early Letters)

* "Ang tawo nahigugma kay siya gugma man. Nangita siya'g kalipay, kay siya mao ang kalipay. Giuhaw siya sa Dios, tungod Kay gilangkuban siya sa Dios, ug dili siya mabuhi Kung wala ang Dios"
~ Sathya Sai Baba

* "Ang kalag giuhaw sa Dios, ug ang Dios lamang ang makatagbaw niini."
~ St John Vianney
