Mary sustains our hearts

| | Comments (0)

OL Perpetual Help.jpgIn danger, in distress, in uncertainty, think of Mary, call upon Mary. She never leaves your lips, she never departs from your heart; and so that you may obtain the help of her prayers, never forget the example of her life. If you follow her, you cannot falter; if you pray to her, you cannot despair; if you think of her, you cannot err. If she sustains you, you will not stumble; if she protects you, you have nothing to fear; if she guides you, you will flag; if she is favorable to you, you will attain your goal....

 

(Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Hom. II super Missus est, 17: PL 183, 70-71.)
