Prayer of Love for Mary.

MUSIC: Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod) by Noelle Cassandra (Harp Artist)

It is said that the Most Holy Theotokos will grace you just by simply looking at this particular miraculous image of hers. This you see is the one found at our local parish church. I do not know if you could figure out the hand and/or finger prints of the devotees on the image's glass frame? Well, I for one, touch it as I close my eyes when praying to the Holy Mother and her Divine Infant Son 'whom this image only represents'.

Mary as Our Mother: "...She conceived, brought forth and nourished Christ. She presented Him to the Father in the temple, and was united with Him by compassion as He died on the Cross. In this singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope and burning charity in the work of the Savior in giving back supernatural life to souls. Wherefore she is our mother in the order of grace.

This maternity of Mary in the order of grace began with the consent which she gave in faith at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, and lasts until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this salvific duty, but by her constant intercession continued to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation of Christ the one Mediator..." (DCC 61 & 62)
