MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD
One of the most fundamental reasons why Mary is important to Catholics is her role as the mother of Jesus Christ, who is considered the Son of God. As the mother of God, Mary has a unique relationship with Jesus, and her importance is inseparable from His. The Catholic Church teaches that Mary was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus, and that she was conceived without sin in order to prepare her for this task.
MARY AS INTERCESSOR
Another important aspect of Mary’s role in the Catholic faith is her intercessory power. Catholics believe that Mary can intercede on their behalf and bring their prayers to Jesus. This belief is based on the idea that Mary, as the mother of Jesus, has a special relationship with him and can ask him for favors. Many Catholics therefore pray to Mary and ask for her help in times of need, such as during illness or difficult times.
MARIAN DEVOTIONS
Devotion to Mary is expressed in a variety of ways in the Catholic faith. Marian devotions, such as the Rosary, the Angelus, and the Immaculate Heart, are some of the most popular forms of devotion to Mary. The Rosary is a form of prayer that involves meditating on various mysteries of the lives of Jesus and Mary. The Angelus is a prayer that is traditionally recited three times a day, and focuses on the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel told Mary that she would bear a son. The Immaculate Heart is a devotional concept that emphasizes the love and purity of Mary’s heart.
Through various forms of Marian devotion, such as the Rosary, the Angelus, and the Immaculate Heart, Catholics can deepen their relationship with Mary and grow closer to God. May we always strive to honor Mary and emulate her faith and love for God, as we journey together towards greater holiness and closer union with our Lord.
Jesus left us with sacraments to follow, Jesus left us His mother to honor and love, Jesus left us a church, Jesus left us the promise of eternal life, Jesus left us His commandments, Jesus left us a new and everlasting covenant, Jesus left us an assignment or works to do, don't disregard them by joining a sect that makes salvation just like a walk in the park, Jesus already told us that it is not going to be easy and it will be more harder for those who are rich.
Mary is instrumental for the fulfillment of the plans of God that's why Satan hated her so much. When you don't like to honor Mary, accept that you don't want to do the will of God.
