_{"All I recommend about Mary is you've just got to ask her to come into your life and then she does, because she's like a mother, so mothers are always looking out for you even when you don't realise .. One of the things I'd recommend is just talking to her like she's there, coz she is there. I have a little prayer that I say all the time. I learnt it from Maximilian Kolbe and he learnt it from someone else [St Louis de Montfort]. I just say it to Mary: 'I am all yours and all that I have is yours.' It's a really easy prayer and you can say it all the time, and then it  just redirects your whole life and everything that you are, so everything that you are thinking and hearing and speaking, and when you're walking .. just everything is through Mary to Jesus and that's just a very simple way of getting to know Our Lady, because she transforms your life when you do that."}

_{"Mary is the source of my strength.  Whenever I feel that I'm weak I go to her and pray to her."}

^{"Mother Mary, when we pray to her, we keep her close as if she is our secret mother, in whom we can confide all our troubles, and also our joys and hopes."}

_{"At the wedding at Cana after Our Lord told Our Lady that it was not yet his time, she doesn't even respond to him but tells the stewards to 'do what he tells you.' She knows that her boy is going to listen to his mother. We can place our complete trust in Our Lady."}

_{"Mary went to all kinds of lengths, short of showing herself and speaking with an audible voice, to teach and console me."}

_{"Mary is to me, as she is to everyone else, Mater Mediatrix, Mother of Constant Help. She is always there for me and can be for anyone."}
