[Original:]A number of them are lifted without accreditation from a book by St. Alphonsus de Liguori

[Reply:]Which ones?

The ones from Ambrose, Anselm, Antoninus, Athanasius, Blosius, Ephrem (misspelled "Ephem" in your reference), Fulgentius (misspelled "Fulgetius" in your reference), Guerric, Richard of Saint Laurence/Saint-Laurent (misnamed "Richard of Laurence in your reference), and John Damascene are all taken from Chapter 8 of St. Alphonsus de Liguori's Le glorie di Maria); quotes similar to the ones from Bernardine (misspelled "Bernadine" in your reference) and Bonaventure are also there; so essentially, all of them except the ones from Leo XIII are pulled out of context from Liguori, who explicitly says he is summing up what previous writers have said ("let us examine what other saints and learned men heave said on this subject; and let no one be surprised if many of these quotations are alike, for I have wished to give them all, in order to show how unanimous the various writers have been on the subject"), and who explicitly relates these quotes to Mary's intercessory prayer 13 times in that chapter alone. These quotes are teaching the efficacy of Mary's intercessory prayer to her Son, not the worship of Mary, when read in context and not pulled out of context.
