“All true children of God have God for their father and Mary for their mother; anyone who does not have Mary for his mother, does not have God for his father. This is why the reprobate, such as heretics and schismatics, who hate, despise or ignore the Blessed Virgin, do not have God for their father though they arrogantly claim they have, because they do not have Mary for their mother. Indeed if they had her for their mother they would love and honour her as good and true children naturally love and honour the mother who gave them life.”
Saint Louis Marie de Montfort (via takeandsealit)
“Holy Purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angels of God in heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh.”
St. John Bosco (via radioteopoli)
“Our most important work is turning to God a hundred times a day. This is true devotion and perfects everything we do.”
St. Francis de Sales (via badwolfcomplex)
“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom.”
St. Frances de Sales (via thefullnessofthefaith)

Trials
In trial or difficulty I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.

“You are what you are before God. That and nothing more.”
St. Francis of Assisi (via klarita)
