Woe to him who neglects to recommend himself to Mary, and thus closes the channel of grace!
Alphonsus Liguori

If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love.
Alphonsus Liguori
By the law of nature, there is no pleasure in suffering but divine love, when it reigns in a heart, makes it take delight in its sufferings.
Alphonsus Liguori
