54 Catholics don’t Worship Mary, but we Love and Venerate Her!

For College Catholics - A podcast by Fr. Patrick Wainwright, MC

In today’s episode I talk about the most preeminent member of the Body of Christ, that is the Virgin Mary. She is the Mother of Jesus, and therefore, the Mother of God. She is always interceding for us, just as she did in the Wedding at Cana (Jn 2:1-12). In Heaven, Jesus continues to love her as He did in this earth, and grants her everything she asks for us, as long as it is for our spiritual good. The Virgin Mary loves us truly as a mother loves her children. Jesus himself, while hanging on the Cross, entrusted her with the task of being a Mother for us (Jn 19:26). After her ascension into Heaven, she “continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation... Therefore, the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix [of all graces].” (LG 62)
