MOST BLESSED CREATION
But when the
right time finally came, God sent His own Son. He came as the Son of a human
mother and lived under the Jewish Law. (Galatians 4:4)
Holy Spirit
is the center- point and the way to salvation and the work of the Spirit is evident throughout God’s plan for Salvation. Mother Mary is also given an equal
role in it and the Almighty God has performed and still continue even today to
do mighty things through her. The same will be through all ages to come.
Let us read
through the Biblical teachings to get more knowledge on the importance of
honoring our Mother:
Gabriel, an
angel of God is first to praise Mother Mary.
“The angel
came to her and said, ‘Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and has greatly blessed
you!’ (Luke 1:28)
Reading further,
we see Elizabeth in one breath joyfully praising Mother Mary and the child in
her womb because He will be the Savior.
“Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy Spirit and said in a loud voice, ‘You are the most
Blessed of all women, and blessed is the child you will bear!’ (Luke 1:42)
The above
verses teach us that Mother Mary is worthy recipient of all praises.
When you
accept Jesus as your Savior, it is impossible to not acknowledge the presence
of His mother. Our love and gratefulness towards Her arises when we truly learn
the plan of God’s Salvation and her important role in it.
Praise and
adoration are different. We are to Worship only Lord the God, the Creator of
Heaven and Earth and whenever we praise His creation we are Glorifying the
Creator.
Mother Mary
is a creation of the Mighty Creator and thus the words praise and reverence fits in here. By praise we indicate
the expressions of acceptance, appreciation and admiration. Through our
appreciation of the goodness of Mother Mary, we are glorifying the plan of God
of Glory. She is the masterpiece of the Lord’s grace and God permits His
devotees to praise Her.
“For He has
remembered Me, His lowly servant! From now on all people will call Me happy
because of the great things the Mighty God has done for Me.” (Luke 1: 48-49)
So dear
devotees, it is impossible that you believe in the Holy Trinity and yet hesitate
to acknowledge and give Mother Mary the honor, praise and gratitude that she
truly deserves.
A PRAYER TO
OUR MOTHER
O
Glorious and Blessed Virgin, shield Your children in Your arms
Comfort
those who are troubled; encourage the faint-hearted;
Protect
those who are tempted; Intercede for all those devoted to the service of God.
Obtain
for us the gift of Your maternal and loving protection as we walk on the path
of Your Son Lord Jesus. Teach us to glorify God unceasingly through the merits
of Mother and all saints, who constantly intercede for spreading of Heavenly
Peace on this Universe.
Mother,
we praise You!
Mother,
we thank You!
Mother,
we trust in You!
