Words of Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe - Martyr of Auschwitz
Whoever does not wish to have Mary Immaculate as his Mother will not have Christ as his Brother either; the Father will not send His Son to him; the Son will not descend into his soul; the Holy Spirit will not make him a member of the mystical body of Christ; for all these mysteries of grace take place in Mary full of grace and in her alone. No other creature is or will ever be immaculate like her, or full of grace, or capable of being so intimately united to the Lord as was the Immaculate Virgin. And since the first-born Son, the Man-God, was conceived only through the specific consent of the Most Blessed Virgin, the same holds true of all other humans, who must imitate in all things their primary model, Christ.
Saint Louis Marie De Montfort, and the Early Church Fathers
1) “Mary has two sons, the one is the God-Man, the other, mere man. She is the Mother of the first corporally and the second spiritually.” (Saint Bonaventure and Origen)
2) “This is the will of God Who willed that we should have all things through Mary. If then, we possess any hope or grace or gift of salvation, let us acknowledge that it comes to us from her.” (Saint Bernard)
3) “As you were not worthy that anything should be given to you, all graces were given to Mary so that you might receive through her all graces you would not otherwise receive.” (Saint Bernard)
Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
O Most Holy Virgin and Our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of selfish humanity. We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you, sweet Mother, and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.
We therefore kneel before you to manifest the deep sorrow we feel for your grievances that people cause you, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return your love. Obtain for them and for us pardon of so many sins. Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus and cease to offend Our Lord, already so much offended. Turn your loving eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy him forever in heaven.
Amen
Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
I, a faithless sinner-- renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day, for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.
Amen
