Mary’s will must surely be for you to be a whole hearted lover of Jesus Christ.

If Mary points people to Christ, they why do so many people stay focused on Mary and not go on to be entirely focused on Jesus Christ?

Indeed that is the will of the Blessed Mother:

"His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye." John 2:5

Humans are weak. We go astray. Temptations of the world are continually pulling our gaze away from Christ. We fall. Whom better than His mother to be the one that is always there to help us on the way back to her Son.
