I feel the same way about our Blessed Mother, she is needed now more than ever.
God gave us a beautiful role model and example to follow, in Jesus’ mother. He certainly knew what he was doing.
Our poor children are spoon fed iconic images of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Madonna as role models. We are told that we come first and are taught Power Puff girls rule since the time we can crawl.
We need her example more than ever. So sad that so many of us don’t value that gift God gave us, or even worse, think that Jesus would be jealous of His mother, as if she had the equal significance of some Budha.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual dfervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it brained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
