"Mary is the open door to God. In talking to her we can be completely unselfconscious, we can come begging to her like little children, trustingly, in a way people often would not dare to do with Christ. This is the language of the heart. The way this language expresses itself in a network of shrines shows again and again how the heart of man is touched by this. This is the faith that Christ tells us can move mountain."
--Pope Benedict XVI in God in the World
Take a moment and say a prayer to Mary. Ask her for help on something important. The Church teaches that she is our greatest intecessor, that she pleads our case in a special way with God. Like all good mothers do!

Thank you, Clare. Mary's Feast days are my favorites; I find a very special comfort in these.
Clare,you seem to have such a special insight regarding the church and God. You are more special than you will ever know.
