Who is Mary? we say plainly: the mother of Jesus Christ.
VIRGIN MARY - the second Eve, but far better than the first Gods masterpiece because, unlike Eve, Mother Mary was never sinned.
THE DEVOTION TO MARY:
[We have God, the Father – God the Son, Jesus Christ – and God, the Holy Spirit – so why acknowledge or petition Mary for her intercession? We adore the Blessed Trinity – not Mary – so why do Catholics honor her in special ways, and why have a devotion to her?
It is in the plan of God that we practice devotions to Our Lady, since She is our strongest advocate before Him. Mary was conceived without sin and remained without sin throughout her life. “The Immaculate Conception” is a declared doctrine of the Church and confirmed by Mary, herself, in some of her apparitions. This makes her prayers, her intercessions, so very powerful.
Mary is the perfectly ‘holy’ daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is the ‘second’ Eve, the perfect Eve, mother of all the living – Gen. 3:20. GOD’s first message to Mary, through the Angel, Gabriel, was, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women … (Luke 1:28). She is the Blessed Virgin Mother of God. Mary is the perfect disciple. We can learn a lot from her example and through her words from her messages. She is the school of faith.
Jesus listened to His mother and always honored her. They loved and cared for each other throughout their entire life. And when Jesus died, He gave His Mother, Mary, to us, as He gave her to His disciple, John, at the foot of the Cross (Jn.19:27).Because Mary was always without sin, she conceived her Son by the power of the Holy Spirit and bore the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Later, after her death, she was assumed into Heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit. She is Queen of Heaven and Queen of Earth. She played a major role in the first coming of Christ, the first Advent. And, she is now a significant forerunner to the second coming of Christ, the last Advent. There have been, and are, more appearances of Mary, through apparitions, within the last 100 years than during any other century on Earth! She has messages for us, and she wants us to listen.] source: http://www.marysource.com/
