"Teach souls to love the Heart of My Mother pierced with sorrow that transfixed My Own Heart." (Dec. 25, 1909) (1)

"My desire flows from My love on Calvary. In giving John to My Mother as a son, I entrusted the whole world to her Sorrowful Motherhood." (1)

"The Heart of My Mother has the right to the title of Sorrowful, and I wish it placed before that of Immaculate, because she herself has acquired it. The Church rightly acknowledges that which I did for My Mother: Her Immaculate Conception. What I now claim for Her is that she be honored with a title of Justice -- a title she has deserved through Her close identification with all my sufferings, through Her immolation on Calvary, accepted and borne for the salvation of mankind. She was particularly great in that Co-Redemption, and therefore, I ask that the invocation I have expressed, be approved and spread throughout the Church like the one addressed to My Heart, and recited by all My priests after the holy sacrifice of [the] Mass. Already many graces have been obtained through it, and many more will be granted; it will be spread until the Church is exalted and the world renovated through Consecration to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of My Mother." (Sept. 8, 1911) (1)

"Let every soul cry out: Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us." (1914) (1)

"The hearts of men must be changed. This will only be realized through the devotion known, developed, preached and counseled everywhere. This is the last aid which God gives to the world before the end of time: Universal recourse to My Mother under the title I wish for her."  (July 2, 1940) (1)
