1. Why devotion to Mary?
One way I like to approach Catholic devotion to Mary is to point out
that if we were priviliged to visit Jesus in Nazareth when he was
about 20 years old, we would certainly have spoken to Mary and Joseph
too. Jesus would not have wanted us to feel that we could talk only
to him! So now, we can and should talk to Jesus in heaven, and I
would guess that he still would like for us to talk to his Mother
too! Talking to Mary, praying to Mary, does not diminish our devotion
to Jesus. If anything, it should strengthen it, because Mary will
always try to lead us to her Son.
We invite your questions on Mary. Send them to Father
at the Association.
The questions and responses 1-20 come from Catholic Home Study Service,
Rev. Oscar Lukefahr, C.M., Director. If you would like to enroll in a
