Someone asked Bishop Giles about this some time ago and while cleaning out some files this week I found it.  You could actually keep going until you reached the Apostles!

In dangers, in distress, in uncertainties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let her name not depart from your lips, let her never depart from your heart, and, that you may win the help of her prayers, never depart from the example of her life. Following her, you will never go astray; when you implore her aid, you will never despair; thinking on her, you will not err; while she sustains you, you will not fall; under her protection, you have nothing to fear; with her being your guide, you will not grow weary; if she be your propitious Star, you will arrive safely at your goal.

Homily 2 on Missus est Excerpt from Sermons of St. Bernard on Advent and Christmas (1909 edition), 47.

The Mother of God once said to her faithful servant St. Bridget: "No matter how

numerous a person's sins may be, if he turns to me with a sincere purpose of

amendment I am prepared forthwith to receive him graciously, for I do not regard the

number of sins he has committed, but look only upon the dispositions with which he

comes to me; for I feel no aversion in healing his wounds, because I am called and am in truth the Mother of Mercy."

"Poor abandoned sinners," exclaims St. Alphonsus Liguori, "do not despair! Raise your eyes to Mary and be comforted, trusting in the clemency of this good Mother. For she will rescue you from the shipwreck you have suffered and conduct you to the haven of salvation."

What is understood from this day's gospel, the Good Samaritan,  in a higher and more spiritual sense?

According to the interpretation of the Fathers, our father Adam, and hence the whole human race is to be understood by the one who had fallen among robbers. The human race, which through the disobedience of Adam fell into the power of Satan and his angels, was robbed of original justice and the grace of God, and moreover, was wounded and weakened in all the powers of the soul by evil concupiscence. The priest and The Levite who represent the Old Law, would not and could not repair this misfortune; but Christ, the true Samaritan, embraced the interests of the wounded man, inasmuch as He poured the oil of His grace, and the wine of His blood into the wounds of man's soul, and thus healed him, and inasmuch as He led him by baptism into the inn of His Church, and there entrusted him to His priests for further care and nursing. Thank Christ, the good Samaritan, for this great love and care for you, and endeavor to make good use of His blessings by your cooperation.

St. Raymond Nonnatus

Raymond became a priest due to his quiet persistence in prayer and study.

He was born to a noble Spanish family in 1204. His mother died during child birth and his father had high expectations for Raymond to serve in the country’s Royal Court.  However, the young Raymond felt drawn to religious life. In an attempt to dissuade him, his father ordered him to manage one of the family farms. However, Raymond spent his time with the workers, studying, and praying. His father finally gave up and allowed Raymond to enter the Mercederians.

Fr. Raymond spent his entire estate ransoming slaves. He even offered himself as a hostage to free another. He was sentenced to death but was spared because his ransom would bring in a large amount of money.

During his imprisonment, he succeeded at converting some of his guards. To keep him from continuing his preaching, his captors bored a hole through his lips with a hot iron, and attached a padlock. He was eventually ransomed, and he returned to Barcelona in 1239.

That year, he was named a cardinal by Pope Gregory IX.  The following year, in 1240, he was summoned to Rome, but barely made it out of Barcelona before he died at the age of 36.

St. Raymond is the patron saint of pregnant women, childbirth, and newborn infants.
