Devotion to Our Lady is Necessary for Salvation
"Many have proved invincibly, from the sentiments of the Fathers — among others: St. Augustine, St. Ephrem, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Germanus of Constantinople, St. John Damascene, St. Anselm, St. Bernard, St. Bernardine, St. Thomas, and St. Bonaventure — that devotion to Our Most Blessed Virgin is necessary for salvation, and that it is an infallible mark of reprobation to have no esteem or love for the Holy Virgin while, on the other hand, it is an infallible mark of predestination to be entirely and truly devoted to her." St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"The Divine Mother is the only hope of those who are in despair; she is our safeguard from Hell." St. Ephrem
"Those who do not serve Mary will not be saved, for those who are deprived of the help of this great Mother are deprived also of that of her Son and of the whole Court of Heaven." St. John Damascene
"It is impossible to save one's soul without devotion to Mary and without her protection." St. Anselm
"To desire grace without recourse to the Virgin Mother is to desire to fly without wings." Pope Pius XII
"God has entrusted the keys and treasures of Heaven to Mary." St. Thomas Aquinas
"O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces, and since the grace of salvation can come only through thy hands, our salvation depends on thee." St. Bernardine of Sienna
"Every grace which is communicated to this world has a three-fold origin: it flows from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, and from the Virgin to us...Nothing comes to us except through the mediation of Mary, for such is the will of God." Pope Leo XIII
