    Pray to Your Mother

    "All generations will call me blessed": "TheChurch's devotion to the Blessed Virgin isintrinsic to Christian worship."The Churchrightly honors "the Blessed Virgin withspecial devotion. From the most ancienttimes the Blessed Virgin has been honoredwith the title of 'Mother of God,' to whoseprotection the faithful fly in all their dangersand needs. . . . This very special devotion . . .differs essentially from the adoration whichis given to the incarnate Word and equally to

    the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatlyfosters this adoration."The liturgical feastsdedicated to the Mother of God and Marianprayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of thewhole Gospel," express this devotion to the

    Virgin Mary. CCC 971

    Catholics Worship Mary*

    We offer Mary Hyper-dulia, but offer Latria only to her God

    She is the Mediatrix of Graces, so we ask her intercession with theOne who can give us Graces

    If we think that our friends can be effective in praying for us, howmuch more effective a prayer warrior would the Lord's mother be?

    We do not worship her, we venerate her.
