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!
