Take the Virgin Mary as Your Model:

There's nothing to model...God told us nothing about Mary...The apostle Paul however did tell us to model him...

Christ isn’t easy to imitate, since He is more than perfect: He’s Divine. We’re not God, so acting like we are isn’t always the best model (that is, what is fitting for Christ might not be fitting for us, given the situation). Pius recognized this, and called upon us to imitate Mary as well:

Who would give advice like this but the father of lies???

Since the majesty of that Model may be too much for fallen human nature, God mercifully gave Us another model to propose for your imitation, the glorious Virgin Mother of God.

Lies, lies, lies from the lair of Satan...'Do not follow Jesus' but follow the 'pagan queen of heaven'...

Be a Saint: Sanctity wins more souls than argumentation. Pius again: “We are of the opinion that the shining example of Christ’s soldiers has far greater value in the winning and sanctifying of souls than the words of profound treatises.”

Another unGodly lie...

Joh_6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (the bible).

Now the way to reach Christ is not hard to find: it is the Church. Rightly does Chrysostom inculcate: “The Church is thy hope, the Church is thy salvation, the Church is thy refuge.”

Another gigantic lie...

The (real) church is the body (of Christ)...The body saves no one...It is the head (Jesus Christ) which saves...The church IS the saved...NOT those looking to get saved...

Just wow.....

Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

GOD is our refuge. HE is our Hope and our salvation.

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 91:1-4 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
