If our life were not under the protection of Mary, we might tremble for our perseverance and salvation. In her hands Jesus has placed His almighty power in the order of salvation. All the graces of salvation, both the natural and the spiritual, will be given to us by Mary.
St. Peter Julian Eymard, "Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament"
