The Blessed Mother

Have you ever wondered how much you love your mother? I don't know what I would do without my mom. She is my heart and knows every single time I hurt without me even saying anything. I guess it's a gift that a mother has. So if I love my mother more than words, I wonder how much Jesus loves His mother? I mean I am talking about a Man that loves more than anyone in the world could ever love. Wow! Just thinking about the idea of how much He loves her makes me love His mother.


The Virgin Mary, pregnant with the Son of God at 14. I hold this women with the up most right respect. When I read the Bible I tear up reading the scriptures about His Mother.

40And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:40-45

I love this scripture because it helps me understand that Mary is Blessed! That she is the "Mother of my Lord" What more do you need there? That "All generations shall call her Blessed"

This is one of my favorite verses: John 2:2–5


2And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4Jesus saith unto her, a Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.



This was one of Jesus' first miracles. He turned water into wine. Who was the person that ask Him of this? Yep that's right! His mother, which brings me to this commandment: Honor your Mother and Father. He honored His mother. Even though it was not his hour he still did as He was asked by His mother. Number 1 reason why I also pray to the Blessed Mother Mary! (Please don't get pray and worshiped confused) I know that I can go directly to God but it doesn't hurt to have more prayer, so I pray to Mary and ask her to pray for me because, of course, He will honor His mother. Correct?



What about this verse: John 19:25–27


25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his amother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the adisciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy amother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

This was not John's mother, so why did Jesus say "Behold thy mother!"? Was it maybe because she is our mother, our Blessed Mother! ;)

I get the question all the time "Why do you pray for or to the dead" Did God promise us Eternal Life? Those people in Heaven are not dead. They are more a live than we ever could be here on Earth. They are holier than anyone on Earth could ever be because they are with our Lord. So My Blessed Mother is holy. She was the first one ever to receive God and she NEVER left His side.

O Jesus, Divine Master, I thank and bless Your most merciful Heart for having given us Mary most holy as your Mother, Teacher and Queen. From the cross You placed us all in her hands. You gave her a great heart, much wisdom and immense power. May all mankind know her, pray for her! May all permit themselves to be led by her to You, the Savior of mankind. I placed myself in her hands, as You placed Yourself. With this Mother I want to live now, in the hours of my death, and for all eternity.

Amen
