Why Mary, Our Blessed Mother Matters So Much!

Mary loves us.  She is Christ’s Mother and is far closer to Jesus than we are.  

I can picture Her standing at the Cross when Jesus was Crucified.  Standing at the Cross with John and Mary Magdalene and Her sister Mary the wife of Clopas, I can not even begin to truly imagine how She suffered.  But She stood there, for Jesus and for us.

When our Blessed Mother Mary died in Ephesus, The Apostles came, Mary Magdalene came, because they loved Her.  They sought her wisdom and help many times.  And they knew they could count on Her love for them and on Her great love for Jesus.

One of the objections that I have heard from people who do not pray the Rosary is that the Bible teaches us not to talk with the dead.  And it does.  But these verses do not apply here, for those in Heaven are very much alive, as is Mary!

Mary loves  us, as only a Mother can and She always points the way to Jesus.  And Mary, our Blessed Mother, helps us to deepen our faith in Jesus, because She loves Her Son and She loves us.

I pray the Rosary, because Mary comforts and helps me.  She prays for me and my prayers are answered, She heals us, both Spiritually and Physically.  And we truly need that, especially now.

Another objection I have heard from those who do not pray the Rosary is that “Mary is not God”.  But no one thinks She is, least of all Mary.  It is God who empowers Mary, not Mary.  And it is Jesus, who loves His mother so dearly, a love that only grows!

She warns us when bad times are coming and helps us to prepare.  She helps us during them.  Mary, Our Blessed Mother, is a constant in times of trouble, She never leaves us.

“Are Mother Mary, Saints and Angels omnipresent like God, to listen to prayer requests of the faithful from different locations on the planet at the same time?” Only God is omnipresent. Mother Mary, the Saints or the Angels are not omnipresent. But, they can and do listen to any prayers addressed to them from anywhere in any language. This is not because they are capable all by themselves, but rather God makes them “accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). It is God who empowers them.” – Catholic Cafe

It’s hard to explain the wonder and beauty of Mary, our Blessed Mother.  Or how much She loves us and how close She is to us.  And how Mary, Our Blessed Mother, only deepens and strengthens our relationship to Jesus.

We live in very dangerous times.  Parts of Galilee are on fire from Islamic attacks.  Missiles are being sent over the Sea of Galilee to attack Israel.  One of Ukraine’s Children’s Hospitals was just destroyed by Russia.  And no one can dispute how much the Ukrainian people have suffered!  Taiwan’s freedom may soon come to an end.  And World War Three looms over us.

And sadly, no matter what the news reports say, WWIII does loom over us.

And so frankly, we need all of the help we can get!  And asking Mary to pray for us and praying the Rosary are a way to obtain that help and deepen our relationship with Jesus.  Both of Which we desperately need right now!

Mary, our Blessed Mother and Friend, can help us through the dark days that lie ahead.  If we ask Her too 🙂 We can’t let denominational stubbornness keep us from a closer relationship with Christ, and with Mary.  For no matter which denomination we belong to, we are Followers of Christ first and foremost.

Thank you Mary, Our Blessed Mother & Friend!
