God Bless you Mary!

I haven’t heard of you before, and I am not on FB so I can’t like the page, but I am so glad to meet you here on FR.

I love the way you speak of the Ark and Mary as having been made perfect by God even though they are the work of human hands. It reminds me of the Eucharistic Bread and Wine and the prayers the priest says during consecration.

I am especially encouraged to see that you have come out of the Jehovah’s Witness and back to the Church. It gives me hope for my sister.

Don’t intend to spark any debate, just thanking you for sharing your wonderful insights and personal story.

Thank you, Jvette, for your kind comments. I like you relating it to the Eucharist, because of course all that Jesus was physically he got from Mary, so his flesh came from her.

I am so sorry about your sister. I know what a tremendous strain it is on family relations to have a someone convert to the JWs. If you email me, I can put you in touch with a group called the Fellowship of Catholic ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses. Many Catholics with JW family members use their board for advice and support.

Even though you are not on Facebook, you can still register on Catholic Lane.

The site is fairly new, but I have worked in Catholic media for 10 years at another, very well known, site. And before that I made tapes for St. Joseph Communication.
