Something about Mary

Father Valentine, from London - "Mary is our mother, she's a mother to me. She represents a great part of what it means to be a Catholic.... When you look at Our Lady, you remember simplicity, honesty and you remember that prayer is so crucial in the life of every Christian. What makes Mary so special to me is her life of prayer: prayer, prayer, prayer. 'Do what every he tells you.'" Music by Jesús Cabello.

Tobias, from the US - "Mary has just always kind of been a strong and constant presence. She's been there to guide me, to watch over me, even been there faithful to me when I haven't been faithful to her. She's always just been there, taking care of me, and I feel her motherly presence with me often. So, praise God for her, in giving her to me as a mother and a protectress." Music by Jesús Cabello.

Mark, from the USA - "What Mary has been to me is always been my mother. I was certainly blessed growing up: the only approved Marian apparition in the US, about 15 minutes east of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and we used to go there for days of recollection ..

Karen, from the US - "Mary to me is many things, but mostly she is my mother. … As I’ve grown, my love for Mary has increased but it’s nothing compared to the love that she has for me.

Rosario, from Chile, in English and Spanish - "Mary has been like the woman image that I have always had. During my life I think she has been an enormous support and she has been a warm image, she has been like a path where I can get closer to God. She is something more human for me to realise the love of God. That is my experience about Mary. She has also given me a reference, as I don't know how to deal with life, to be simple, to be loving, to be present, to worry about others not only about me, and I feel very close to her, like a mother. Para mí l'image de la Virgen María es muy importante en mi vida." Music by Jesús Cabello.

Peter, from the UK - "I've always known that I have a father and I'm beginning to realise that I also have a mother. That's really touching me because it's a relationship that I really understand and I really get, and I'm starting to feel quite close to my heavenly mother and that is actually really moving me because it's a relationship that I find easy to come to, I find it easy to come to my mother. I think as well what I'm beginning to understand is that she in some sense represents me and my Christian brothers and sisters, in a sense she goes before me. Because she is sinless and because she is perfect, she goes where I hope to go one day and she is where I hope to go, and that gives me a lot of hope as a Christian." Music by Jesús Cabello.
