Our Lady Quotes

“Lady, you who are so great, so powerful,
that who seeks grace without recourse to you
would have his wish fly upward without wings.”
― Dante Alighieri, Paradise

“When Mary has struck her roots in a soul, she produces there marvels of grace, which she alone can produce, because she alone is the fruitful Virgin who never has had, and never will have, her equal in purity and in fruitfulness.”
― Louis De Montfort, True Devotion to Mary

“One instant in a still light,
He saw Our Lady then,
Her dress was soft as western sky,
And she was queen most womanly–
But she was queen of men.

Over the iron forest
He saw Our Lady stand;
Her eyes were sad withouten art,
And seven swords were in her heart–
But one was in her hand”
― G. K. Chesterton, The Ballad Of The White Horse

“Mary has produced, together with the Holy Ghost the greatest thing which has been or ever will be - a God-Man; and she will consequently produce the greatest saints that there will be in the end of time. The formation and the education of the great saints who shall come at the end of the world are reserved for her. For it is only that singular and miraculous Virgin who can produce, in union with the Holy Ghost, singular and extraordinary things.”
― Louis De Montfort, True Devotion to Mary

“Our Lady said that to alter the Liturgy would be suicide for the Church.”
― Father Nicholas Gruner, Crucial Truths to Save Your Soul

“I love our Lord with all my heart. But He wants me to love Our Lady in a special way and to go to Him with my hand in Mary's. My affection for her is like that of a tiny child for its mother. You know, Nines, how a baby clings to his mother's skirt when he is learning to walk? Well, that is the way Our Lord wants me to cling to Our Lady's blue mantle.”
― Maria Teresa Quevedo

“Our Lady! is dizzy,
ill, among sparrows”
― Mary Szybist, Granted

“Era a Nossa Senhora da minha infância, do quadrinho na parede, da medalhinha. A propósito, sou mariana - com muita unção - porque vejo em Maria a primeira feminista poderosamente atuante ao dar a Deus a permissão de lhe gerar um filho nas entranhas: "Faça em mim segundo a Sua vontade".”
― Fernanda Montenegro, Prólogo, ato, epílogo: memórias

“Desirous of placing those who aspire to sanctity - and especially to priestly sanctity - in the best conditions for arriving there, it seemed to me indispensable to evoke the particular action which the Virgin Mary has by the will of God in this effort to attain holiness, and this even before considering the elements and essential steps towards sanctity.

If the Word Incarnate who had absolutely no need of a mother to come among us to accomplish the Redemption, wished that His divine person should receive a body and a soul in the bosom of Mary and that, during thirty out of thirty-three years, He should remain subject to His Mother and be, in a certain way, formed by Mary, how can we imagine that we, poor sinful creatures, have no need of the effective aid of Mary to form us into Christians, and priests?”
― Marcel Lefebvre, Spiritual Journey

“You cannot take the child out of those arms or from that breast [of Mary]. It is the first altar purer than any altar ever to be in all time. And those arms own that child.”
― Abram J. Ryan, A Crown for Our Queen

“When a gift to a child passes along the palm of a mother's hand, it becomes more precious.”
― Abram J. Ryan, A Crown for Our Queen
