_{"Our Lady has always been there for me. She's been my bestest mother and bestest friend and I love her so much."}

Sister Pamela of the Holy Spirit ocd       ♦

_{"Our Lady to me - when I'm down, she's the sunshine in my life; at night, she is my star. Otherwise, she's the rainbow in my life, a refuge, a consoler, a comforter and she has taken the place of my mum. I love her very much."}

Runaine James       ♦

_{Runaine, a seminarian, chose as his Man for Others Father Sean Tucker, who was his parish priest when he made his first holy communion in 2000:}

_{"Truly a man for others, his priesthood was characterised by his faithful witness to Jesus Christ, his faithfulness to the Holy Mass and the prayer of the Church, and his availability to God's people, day and night, in moments of joy and sorrow. Today I am aspiring to be a priest because of Father Sean's example of a priest being in the person of Christ."}

Tom

_{"For me it's all about Our Lady. I mean, in a sense, she brought me back to the faith a few years ago when I was struggling. I decided to just pick up the rosary every day and through that I believe she has led me to the faith and where I am now. Through her guidance and protection I've pursued my vocation as best I can. I've given it all to her and she's leading me to Jesus Christ, so it goes to Our Lady and I'm very grateful for everything she does for me."      ♦}

_{Tom grew up with John Paul II but when he first started coming back to his faith, it was all about Pope Benedict XVI:}

_{"I think he's doing so much for the Church in terms of the reform of the reform and that kind of thing. So for me you can see that he really, really wants to bring the Church back with regards to the liturgy specifically and I just think he's a great man, a living saint. I appreciate everything that he has done and I hope he has many, many more years."       ♦}
