Catholics are blessed to think of Mary.    If Mary had not said “Yes.”, Jesus could not have been born at the prophesied town and place.

Every Catholic reveres The Blessed Mother of God.  We recognize that God could not have taken human form and come to earth without her obedience to God.

Many of our friends and neighbors do not understand Mary’s importance.  45,000 denominations, each invented by an ambitious man with a Marketing Plan, largely ignore The Blessed Mother of God.

Catholics know that Mary is also The Mother of The Catholic Church.  It could not have come into being without Her.     Without Mary, we would not have Catholic priests to forgive our sins:  “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”

Forgiven by priests ordained in living link with The Apostles whom Jesus ordained, we may obey the clear all to Catholic Communion He repeated fourteen times, and was echoed by His Apostles six more times:  “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

When we gratefully eat and drink The Actual Body and Blood of Jesus, Catholics are blessed to think of Mary.

As Solomon seated his mother at the side of his earthly throne, we see Mary seated at The Right Hand of Jesus.

Each soul will go to Judgment.  Each soul will stand before His Throne.   As at The Wedding Feast of Cana, Jesus loves His Blessed Mother so much that He will turn to her.

If we have honored Her on earth, we may be forever blessed to see Mary nod affirmatively, “Yes.”

If we have refused to understand Mary’s Great Importance in God’s Plan, or if we have encouraged others to ignore God’s Mother, she may not even look at us.  As such stained souls stand before her, Mary may look beyond them, over the vast and starry realms of which God has made Her Queen.

The trapdoor opens.
