I must perform all my actions through Mary, with Mary, and for Mary. I am and will always be her slave of love. Mary is my Mother, I belong to her. Mary is my Queen, I obey her. Mary is my Mistress, I serve her. Mary is my Teacher, I listen to her. Mary is my Model, I imitate her. Mary is my Star, I follow her. Mary is my Support, I rely on her. Mary is my Strength, I am strong with her. Mary is my Refuge, I seek shelter in her.

St. Bernadine of Siena
1.) I wish I had St. Bernadine's energy. He worked non-stop at a hospital with some companions during a plague that was ravaging the city, and only fell ill after the plague was done from sheer exhaustion of his work.
2.) He became a Franciscan and became a famous preacher. He was called by the Pope a "second Paul".
3.) Even when it was clear that he was near death, he preached for 55 consecutive days (like I said, I need this saint's energy some days).
