In the book The Glories of Mary by St.
Alphonsus de Liguori (Redemptorist
Fathers, 1931 with Nihil Obstat and
Imprimatur) writes:
"Wishing to redeem mankind, God has
placed the price of redemption in the
hands of Mary, that she may dispense it
as she wishes."
"Sometimes we shall be heard sooner by
invoking the inter-cession of Mary than
by praying to Jesus our Saviour"
"In fine, if my Redeemer cast me off on
account of my sins, I will throw myself at
the feet of His mother, Mary, and will
remain prostrate before her, until she
obtains my pardon."
"all things, even God, obey the
commands of Mary"
Mary is "the only advocate of sinners"
"he who is protected by Mary is saved;
he who is not protected by her is lost".
"she (Mary) is truly made a mediatrix of
peace between sinners and God.
Sinners receive pardon by …Mary alone
”We shall be heard more quickly if we
call on her holy name that we should if
we called on the name of Jesus our
Saviour. “
”The holy Church commands a worship
