My love for Mama Mary led me to join Legion of Mary n with Graces obtained from her Intercession I pray the Rosary daily since late 1997 n to pray Rosary daily in the Adoration Room since 1st April 2005. Today this devotion has become an important part of my life. Alleluia.
I like the term "Theological Audit" used by Fr Gerard! 👍 My understanding of Mother Mary interceding for us is not like she is trying to change the mind of God over certain matters affecting us (God does not change His mind as He is immutable in His plan and will for us, and His will is always good for us), rather it is about when we are weak in our own spiritual state and this becomes an obstacle for us to be drawn into God's presence, the intercession of Mary lends us a helping hand by uplifting us directly into the heart of God. (The word "intercession" in the context of our Blessed Mother praying for us must not be understood in the same context as someone speaking on our behalf to persuade another party to change his mind about us, such that the other party does change his mind "on the account" of that interceding party.) One example is that when you are sick with food poisoning and you want to see the doctor immediately but due to your health condition, you are not able to even walk to the clinic all by yourself. In that instance, you need someone who is more than willing to accompany you to the clinic either by providing you a wheelchair or holding you along the way to your destination. Mary always leads us to Jesus. Right where He is. Amen.
