I entrust you to the special care of the Most Blessed Virgin, so that she will not leave you for a moment, but that she will inspire you and bless you at every step, and obtain for you graces so that according to the wishes of your Director you may become a great saint. (I, 155)

The feast of the Name of mary is our community feast day therefore yours too.

(I, 126)
4.
Remember that Mary consented not only to the Incarnation but also the crucifixion of her Son. God in His omnipotence did not need Mary’s permission but in His love He asked for it in order to increase her glory. So it is with your soul too, God has all the right to it and He can crucify you according to His Will, yet to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your love, to fulfill your offering and to increase your merit. He asks and waits for you to acquiesce to that crucifixion. (I, 156)

7.
Despite God’s clearly stated recommendation, a very small number of souls practice it. We could say that only the Blessed Virgin practiced it perfectly.

8.
Before each duty lift your heart to God, say one Hail Mary in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and ask her blessing. Take her as your special patroness. At the beginning of each day place yourself in her care and all those who are dear to us. (III, 80)

Allow her to be the Director of your soul and let her dispose you in such a way that you will be worthy to attain, as soon as possible, that what Jesus has prepared for you — the grace to rest at His feet for which you yearn so much. (III, 131)
14.
Just as Jesus pointed out the Blessed Virgin to John from the cross saying: There is your Mother, so I too, taking leave of you, say the same words: I commit you to her care and place you in her Immaculate Heart. May she protect you all the days of your life until she leads you to the feet of Jesus. (III, 133)

Go to her with all your cares; seek her counsel in all your doubts and consolation in your sufferings. Let her take the place of everyone and everything in your life. Love her like a child.

16.
Throughout your life look at Mary as your model which you must imitate. Let her be your Director; let her teach you the way of perfection. Let her be your strength in moments of weakness; your joy and consolation in suffering; your star and guide to heaven in the dark moments of life. (III, 141)
17.
Develop a love for solitude and silence; shun all empty conversations and the company of people. Perform all spiritual exercises in such a way as if for the last time. In bed, think about death, that last moment when you will take your last breath. (III, 114)
18.
May Mary be your refuge at every moment of your life; may she bless you; may she reward you a hundredfold on this earth and with eternal glory in heaven for all you have done for us unworthy servants. We can repay you only with prayer. (III, 140)
19.
O Mary, my mother, remember that I am yours, guard me and protect me as your possession. (III, 22)

21.
My dear daughter, look upon Jesus interrelating with people; look at the Blessed Virgin accompanying Him in His public life. Tell me, were their Sacred Hearts free of suffering? Was that constant contact with people, so full of evil, deceit and hatred, pleasant? (I, 109)
22.
Let your spiritual reading center about the Blessed Mother so that you may develop ever greater devotion to her and imitate her life. (. . .) Let the Heart of the Most Blessed Virgin be a novitiate for you. Therein learn all perfection and all holiness. (I, 162)

I permit you to yearn for your heaven, but long for it with a longing of the Blessed Mother after the death of Her Divine Son. She sighed for her Son, she desired the earliest reunion with Him whom she loved . . . (I, 122)
26.
Do not discontinue your devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin, but rather try to increase it. (I, 40)
27.
In this (abandonment to the Will of God) let Mary be your perfect exemplar; try to emulate her. Remember that Mary consented not only to the Incarnation but also the crucifixion of her Son. (I, 156)
28.
The more we trust the (Blessed Mother) and abandon ourselves completely to her care, the better we will fare in the end. (II, 231)

Do not resist, my child, but allow God to do with you as He pleases. Trust Him with all your heart. Let your submission to God’s Will atone for so many people who rebel against that Most Holy Will. (I, 156)

Calling you to His service, He selected the Feast of the Annunciation so that on this day, on which Mary with her one Fiat drew salvation down upon the earth, you also could make a total commitment of yourself to God. By this He wanted you to know that your mission, your whole salvation, your holiness depends on absolute abandonment to the Will of God. (I, 156)
31.
O Mary, our Mother! Remember that we are yours; guard and protect us as your only possession. O Mary, you are our Mother and our Superior. Rule over us and guide us. Preserve us and protect us from the enemies of the soul and body. Sanctify us. Obtain for us ( . . .) perseverance in the service of your Son and finally life everlasting. (III, 24)
