We, too,
\napproach thee to-day, O Queen; and again, I say, O Queen, O Virgin Mother of
\nGod, staying our souls with our trust in thee, as with a strong anchor. Lifting
\nup mind, soul and body, and all ourselves to thee, rejoicing in psalms and
\nhymns and spiritual canticles, we reach through thee One who is beyond our
\nreach on account of His Majesty. (Saint John of Damascus)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

… devotion to Our Lady is an important element
\nin our spiritual lives. In our prayer, let us not neglect to turn trustfully to
\nher. Mary will not neglect to intercede for us next to her Son. In looking to
\nher, let us imitate her faith, her complete availability to God’s plan of love,
\nher generous welcoming of Jesus. Let us learn to live by Mary. Mary is the
\nQueen of heaven who is close to God, but she is also the Mother who is close to
\neach one of us, who loves us and who listens to our voice. <\/span><\/p>\n
