“Why are you so into Mary?”
Decaf: We're crady about Our Lady
I had a good friend once ask me, “Why are you so into Mary?” My response was, “The real question is: Why is God so into Mary?” He chose her. I don't think any of us would have complained had Jesus just appeared at the age of 30 and began His public ministry. But He chose Mary to participate in His saving work, and He still does today. Since the time of Christ, she has appeared throughout history and proclaimed the need to repent and embrace God's love. I'm not talking about the ink stains on the sides of buildings, or her face in a potato chip- that's stuff for the tabloids. I'm talking Fatima, Lourdes, Guadalupe and many other approved apparitions that transformed cultures and brought about great conversions. God wants Mary to be a part of your life, and her mission hasn't changed since her first “yes” to the angel- she is the means by which God wants to bring Christ to the world.
