"To me Our Lady is like a mother. She is a perfect role model, someone I would love to grow and be like. I admire her obedience because it brought us, it brought the world, salvation. I admire her submission to the Lord's will and I am always praying to be more and more like her."

"Our Lady for me is very much my mother and has helped me grow in my prayer life. There is no better guide, I think, to help you to grow in your prayer life, to grow to love Jesus and to know him, because she knew him better than any other human being did on this earth. And she is a very good role model because she is the one who said yes to God and the one who pondered everything in her heart, incarnated the word, she did everything she was told to. So you can have no better guide than that, especially when it comes to helping you to love him. There is no other better person for me to learn how to love Jesus than Mary, my mother."

"Our Lady is like a mother to me. I pray to Our Lady for strength in family life, to be the friend, to be the brother and to be the husband I would like to be. Our Lady for me is a source of compassion, a source of kindness, very much like my own mother who isn't with me at the moment. Praying to Our Lady gives me a sense of protection and gives me a sense of refuge and safety and asking her to intercede for me and my prayers gives me a sense that there is a mother in heaven who is guiding and protecting me."

Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt.
Accipio te in mea omnia. Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria. - St Louis de Montfort

Blessed John Paul II took his motto Totus Tuus from this quote.

"I am totally yours and all that I have is yours.
I accept you for my all. O Mary, give me your heart.”
