| Dear TD, I wish you had left your e-mail to answer the comments you wrote about what the Catholic Church believes, but because I don't know where to reach you, I pray that you will come back to see my answers to your comments, with all my respect. |

| First, allow me to tell you that the Catholic Church doesn't believe that Our Blessed Mother is our savior. We believe that JESUS is Our Savior and we get to Our Heavenly Father through JESUS. Second, we believe that JESUS left HIS Mother Mary for us, sinners before HE died on the cross (John 19:26). Therefore, SHE is Our Blessed Mother and we respect HER and love HER for that reason. Don’t we respect and love our mothers? Third, in the Bible, in John 2:1-12, “The Wedding at Cana,” shows the love and respect that JESUS has for Mary. Jesus did what His Blessed Mother asked HIM to do. Therefore, if JESUS, who is God, respects and loves HIS Mother, why should we, who are sinners, not show her the same love and respect? The Blessed Mother Mary is JESUS’ Mother, isn’t this fact sufficient to love HER and respect HER? Fourth, Our Blessed Mother Mary deserves all of our gratitude because SHE said “YES” to God in Luke 1:26, when the Angel Gabriel came to HER and told her, “Hail favored one! The Lord is with you.” Thanks to HER “YES,” we can now, enjoy “Salvation” through Jesus Christ. Fifth, Our Blessed Mother Mary is appearing in many different places because SHE is our Mother, SHE loves us and SHE wants us to accept JESUS and receive “Salvation.” It is difficult to understand why some people don’t give HER the place that God gave her. She is Our Queen, Our Blessed Mother and the way to JESUS…….Our Lord and Savior……. |
