After thousands of centuries passed, today also Virgin Mary continues to participate in the history of salvation, leading all the faithful to her Son.
She can help us on our way to Heaven. In addition, here proposed the following 10 reasons to increase our love for the Mother of God.
1. Loving Mary is pleasing to God
No one has loved and honored the Virgin Mary more than God, who chose her to be the Mother of Christ, his only Son. She is the spouse of the Holy Spirit and the mother of the only begotten Son of God.
2. The Virgin is an example of humility
“As the Lord’s humblest servant who is ‘full of grace,’ Mary was God’s perfect instrument,” said Catholic writer and mystic Thomas Merton.
3. It is a way to imitate Jesus
Jesus follows the Fourth Commandment of God and honors his mother. Therefore, every child of God must do the same.
4. The saints loved the Virgin Mary
There is no saint who did not love or honor the Virgin Mary. Many of them rarely did not have a Rosary on hand.
5. The Virgin is the intercessor par excellence
Jesus performed his first public miracle, because his mother interceded. Christ said that it was not yet his time, but his Mother asked him for help. The Bible is clear: Mary influences her Son.
6. The Virgin Mary and Jesus are united
The Blessed Mother was part of the incarnation, birth, first miracle, passion and death of Jesus and received the Holy Spirit together with the apostles. She is believed to have been present during the Ascension of Our Lord. Jesus and Mary go together.
7. God attends to what his Mother asks of him
During Old Testament times, it was to the Queen, the king’s mother in those days, that the people turned with their petitions. The best chance of getting a good answer from the king was his mother’s request. This is how it was done during the time of King David, and Jesus descends from the House of David.
8. God continues to give us his mother
A multitude of Church-approved Marian apparitions show that God continues to send his mother to help us.
For example, in Fatima on October 13, there were 70 thousand people who witnessed the so-called “Miracle of the Sun”, in which the Virgin Mary appears to the little shepherds Jacinta, Francisco and Lucía. Her message to us is to pray and make reparation for the sins of men.
9. The Rosary is a powerful weapon
Padre Pio and many saints called it a weapon against evil and prayed it continuously. There are many documented miracle stories and personal stories attributed to praying the Rosary.
10. Mary is fair
Nobody could argue that she is not the most righteous, therefore, the Bible attests to the power of her prayers.
“The prayer of the righteous has great power in its effect” (James 5:16) and “God will hear the prayers of the righteous” (Prov. 15:20).
