“The first benefit that the soul receives from the practice of the presence of Mary is that its faith becomes more intense and efficacious in all life situations, and especially in time of need, since it easily obtains graces in moments of temptation and in the inevitable dealings with creatures. For the soul, accustomed to the practice of faith by this exercise, sees and senses Mary present by a simple remembrance.”

~Carmelite Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection quote and method applied to Mary~
