The Trinite God truly is to be loved for Himself only. Put we therefore our mind fully into it, and be we busy to bear all our thoughts unto that end, that without end we may be gladdened by it; so that ourselves and all things that we love, we love for that alone.

Blessed Richard Rolle (1300-1349), Feast Day September 29

Let us love God, my dear brothers, let us love God, but let it be with the strength of our arms and the sweat of our brow.

Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660), Feast Day September 27

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail my life, my sweetness and my hope! To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To you do we send up our sighs; mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward me, and after this, our exile, show to us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus Christ! Clement, loving, sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

Blessed Herman the Cripple (1013-1054), Feast Day September 25

This most holy, sweet and worthy name was ‘eminently fitted to so holy, sweet and worthy a virgin. For Mary means a bitter sea, star of the sea, the illuminated. Mary is interpreted Lady. Mary is a bitter sea to the demons; to men She is the Star of the sea; to the Angels She is illuminated, and to all creatures She is Lady.

Saint Bonaventure (1221-1274), Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary, September 12
