Catholic Wisdom

"Now since the King of Heaven is infinite Goodness itself, He desires to enrich us with His graces. But, since great confidence on our part is necessary to obtain them, He has, in order to increase our confidence, given us His own Mother as our Mother and Mediatrix, to assist us. He, therefore, wants us to place our hope of salvation and of all good and graces in her."

—Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, Twelve Steps, 40.
