I'm a Marian devotee, meaning, a Catholic who has a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. But in spite of my devotion to her, I still can't fathom the depth of her life and her mysteries, probably because of my sinfulness. The simplest and the immediate knowledge I have of her is that she is my beloved spiritual mother, and the mother of God. I know that there's more to her than what I read about her from the bible or from books written by the saints and Marian scholars.
Far from being an obstacle to Jesus, the fact is, where it not for the Blessed Virgin Mary, I would still see God as someone who is "high up there," someone who's strict and authoritative just because He is God. But the Blessed Virgin Mary changed all that. Because of my devotion to her, I now see God in a totally different light. Mary brought me closer to Jesus in a way that I can't explain. All I can describe is that, the more I pray to her, the more I love praying to Jesus. The more I cling to her, the more I've become devoted to Jesus.

What a lovely blog. Thanks for your Faith in the Blessed Mother.
Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin Mary too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did and If anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his mother, he will not have Christ for his brother. ~Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe
