Mary is our spiritual mother. Jesus is our only Savior. For Catholics, their relationship with Mary varies. The more devoted we are to Jesus, the more we appreciate Mary, is usually how it works. Mary was the ultimate loving mother. Jesus gave her to us, his beloved disciples. She will ALWAYS lead us to Jesus. Since we believe in eternal life through Jesus, for us she is alive in God's kingdom and still serving Him. She continues to appear as apparitions. If you read her messages, you will have no doubt.

She continues to guide us.

One of the traditional appellations of our Our Lady is 'The Queen of Love and Compassion.' "On Christmas, Our Lady is said to appear with the baby Jesus. "I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is fullness of life, and to enjoy the fullness and obtain peace you must return to God."--Our Lady of Medjurgorje. The Blessed Mother asks people to return to a spiritual way of living, wholeheartedly devoted to and deeply engaged in spiritual practices. ."--Our Lady of Medjugorje.

The Blessed Mother encourages people to pray daily, pray often, and pray from the heart.

She is not the Savior, but being faithfull to God is a lot more to devout Catholics than simply being babtised in water. It is not easy in this world. She guides us to her Son like a loving mother would.

Mary is not my "spiritual mother." Thank God.

To Christ belongs all the glory.

The Holy Spirit guides us to the Son. Mary can’t. “She’s dead, Jim.”
