“When your heart is anxious, turn to Mary and say, ‘Mary, put my heart at peace.’ When your mind is too busy, look to Mary and pray, ‘Mary, settle down my mind.’ When you want to grow and deepen you life, look to Mary and beg, ‘Mary, just as you helped Jesus grow in wisdom and grace, help me also to advance on the spiritual path which God has laid out for me.'” (Fr. Alfred McBride)

“One of the reasons I do not write more is that there is always housework, cleaning, scrubbing, sewing, washing (right now it is cleaning fish), etc., to do. Just as she had to do these things, and probably never neglected them. But then, too, I can see her sittings seemingly idle beside a well on just such a day as this, just thanking Him, with each happy breath.” (Dorothy Day)
