Why Mary?

Why Mary?

[Pedro_Gala]

She unchained a and incredible conversion in my life after 14 years away (before leaving the Church I had exactly the same problem you had). I am still like 0.o We are so

Thank you for so much for sharing Sister!!!! Our Lady loves us much, we should always show the same kind of love we show our earthly mothers as young children. Our Lord gave us her because he loves us to our core and knew the Human Race requires a Heavenly mother.

Thank you for this. It brought tears to my eyes to think that Mary may care for me. We all need to know we are loved.

I have my relationship with the Blessed Mother before Jesus since I was a kid. I call her Mama Mary and I always call on her or run to her when I'm in trouble or share with her my accomplishments. One day when I was driving to Florida for a new job assignment, I got lost. This was before GPS. I was just going in circles. It was getting dark, I was hungry and frustrated. I said aloud, "Ma Mary help!" And I heard this very soft and gentle voice that said, " call onto my son Jesus". Without giving it a second thought, I said, "Jesus help!" To make the story short I miraculously got to my destination. But with that short and simple situation, I started my relationship with Jesus. Mary would always bring you to her son Jesus.

Matthew 25:23: "eius euge serve bone et fidelis quia super pauca fuisti fidelis supra multa te constituam"

Luke 2:21-24
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising (we know circumcision is to purify the sins and in this case, it's to purify the mother by her firstborn son) of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.


22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Compare that with this verse and observe very keenly offerings sa
Leviticus 12:8
And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
