When we simply repeat the names of Jesus and Mary with respect, we are praying. If we can do that, what a treasure we have. The very names of Jesus and Mary are a treasure beyond any worldly possession.
"In every danger of forfeiting divine grace, we should think of Mary, and invoke her name, together with that of Jesus; for these two names always go together. O, then, never let us permit these two most sweet names to leave our hearts, or be off our lips; for they will give us strength not only not to yield, but to conquer all our temptations." -St. Bernard
"The invocation of the sacred names of Jesus and Mary," says Thomas a Kempis, "is a short prayer which is sweet to the mind, and as powerful to protect those who use it against the enemies of their salvation, as it is easy to remember."
"With every beat of my heart and every breath that I take, may I proclaim the names of Jesus and Mary." -Rosary Family of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
