“The Virgin Mary ‘cooperated through free faith and obedience in human salvation’ (Lumen Gentium 56). She uttered her yes “in the name of all hu7man nature’ (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh III, 30, 1). By her obedience she became the new Eve, mother of the living.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church #511
“The acceptance of this life is virginal because it is entirely the Spirit’s gift to man. The spousal character of the human vocation in relation to God is fulfilled perfectly in Mary’s virgin motherhood.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church #505
“Mary’s role is to bring us face to face with the love in the Heart of Jesus crucified.” – 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley
“Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” – St. Francis de Sales
