Saint Quotes On Mary, Our Loving Mother

The Virgin Mary is very close to the hearts of her children. St. Therese herself said that she is more mother than queen.

As a mother, she is always there to assist her children. She is there when we need her most, and she understands what we are going through.

Here are some very inspiring quotes from the saints that will tell us how much Mary loves us and is willing to assist us in our needs:

1. About the strength she gives us

In our life journey, we often feel weak and exhausted. Even when we try our very best, we still feel tired and running out of strength. Let us ask for Mary’s help to renew us and help us carry on.

“O my mother, in your heart I placed all my anguish of my heart and it is there that I gain strength and courage.” – St. Bernadette

“So your strength is failing you? Why don’t you tell your mother about it? . . . Mother! Call her with a loud voice. She is listening to you; she sees you in danger, perhaps, and she—your holy mother Mary—offers you, along with the grace of her son, the refuge of her arms, the tenderness of her embrace . . . and you will find yourself with added strength for the new battle.” -St. Josemaria Escriva

2. On overcoming fear

We worry about many things. We worry about our family, our work and our health. But fear often turns into useless anxiety, keeping us awake instead of helping us focus on what we need to do. May our Blessed Mother fill our hearts with peace and help us overcome our fears.

“In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.” – Saint Therese of Lisieux

“In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. With her for guide, you shall never go astray; while invoking her, you shall never lose heart; so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception; while she holds your hand, you cannot fall; under her protection you have nothing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.” -Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

3. Victory against temptation

Temptation surrounds us every day. We run out of patience. We are tempted to take matters into our own hands instead of allowing God to direct our paths. Let Mary lead us back to God and help us fight these temptations.

“If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.” – St. John Vianney

All the sins of your life seem to be rising up against you. Don’t give up hope! On the contrary, call your holy mother Mary, with the faith and abandonment of a child. She will bring peace to your soul. -St. Josemaria Escriva

4. Armor against evil

Evil today is often disguised in seemingly good things. Evil can also make us lose heart and weary us down. Let us ask Mary’s help in our battle against evil. She will crush the serpent’s head and bring us closer to the safety of her Son.

“Men do not fear a powerful hostile army as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of Mary.” -St. Bonaventure

“The conflict with Hell cannot be maintained by men, even the most clever. The Immaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan.” – Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, Martyr

5. Deliverance from purgatory

Mary assists us not only in this life but in the next. She will help deliver us souls from purgatory so we can finally be with God in heaven.

“The Blessed Virgin Mary has the power of delivering souls from purgatory by her prayers, and by applying her merits for them. This is especially true for souls that were devoted to her on earth.” -Saint Bernardine of Siena

6. Help in daily life

We have so many concerns in our daily lives. May we offer each one to God through the hand of our Mother. And may the grace of God that flows through her be our refuge day by day.

“Love our Lady. And she will obtain abundant grace to help you conquer in your daily struggle.” – St. Josemaria Escriva

If you ever feel distressed during your day — call upon our Lady — just say this simple prayer: Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now. I must admit — this prayer has never failed me. -Blessed Mother Teresa

Mary, Our Loving Mother

These saint quotes on Mary tells us that we have a mother who loves us and cares for our needs. She bestows upon her children the many graces she has received from God. Do not worry as though you do not have a loving mother. You can run to her anytime. You can call upon her name and find hope, protection, guidance and love.

“Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” -Saint Francis de Sales

“When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ – John 19:26-27 (NRSVCE)

“It was because the saints loved God so much that they succeeded in doing so much for their neighbor. But who ever loved God more than Mary did? At the very first moment of her life, she loved God more than all the angels and saints did in the whole course of their existence. Compared to it, the ardor of the seraphim is like a fresh, gentle breeze. Therefore, since neither angels nor saints surpass Mary in loving God, so no one, after God, loves us or can love us as much as Mary. And if we were to combine all the love that mothers bear their children, all the love of husbands for their wives, all the love of the angels and saints for their devoted clients, all this would not equal Mary’s love for a single soul.” – St. Alphonsus Liguori
