Why Ask Mary?

Why do Catholics, and other Christians who honor Christ's Mother, ask her to pray us? It's because we know she can help lead us to Christ like no other person can. In fact, everything about Mary magnifies God and points us to Christ.

Mary is the most pure Virgin, conceived without sin. From the very first instant, she was made entirely immaculate by God, her Savior. Gloriously full of grace, she is the mother of our God, the Queen of Angels and of men. We humbly venerate her as the chosen mother of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Prince of Peace and the Lord of Lords chose Mary, from among all other women that existed, or ever will exist, for the singular grace and honor of being His beloved mother. By the power of His Cross, He preserved her from all sin. Therefore, by His power and love, we have hope and bold confidence in her prayers for our holiness and salvation.

We pray that her prayers will bring us to imitate her holiness and submission to Jesus and the Divine Will.

We beg the Queen of Heaven to beg our Savior to grant us our petitions for our needs and the needs of others.

We know that our holy Mother was obedient to the will of God. As we make petitions to Jesus through her, we know that God’s will is more perfect than our will. So, we ask her to pray that we may receive God’s grace with humility like she did.

We ask that Mary pray for us to increase in faith in our risen Lord; we ask that Mary pray for us to increase in hope in our risen Lord; we ask that Mary pray for us to increase in love for the risen Jesus!

Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. AMEN!
