"As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary."  
Saint Thomas Aquinas
"We want to: Love her as (Jesus) loved her. Be a cause of joy to her as He was. Keep close to her as He did. Share everything with her, even the Cross, as He did when she stood near the Cross on Calvary. We must love her unconditionally, trust her fully, abandon ourselves to her totally and without reserve. Nothing is impossible for those who call Mary their mother."  Saint Teresa of Calcutta
