I thought some of you might be wondering why I have the user name of "Ave Maria". Well, I am going to explain why in this post. "Ave Maria" translated into English means "Hail Mary". Yes, it is the beginning of the Catholic prayer to the Blessed Mother known as the Hail Mary. I chose this user name in thanksgiving to our Blessed Mother, Mary, for the many graces she has bestowed upon me. I chose this user name to honor her.

That said, the Blessed Mother has really helped me out a lot. I know that I have received many graces through her hands. Indeed, every grace I have received has passed first through her hands. I pray the Rosary every day and I am so thankful that I do. It keeps me close to God and His Mother. I really love the Blessed Mother of God, Mary most holy. She is a wonderful Mother to me. I love her with all of my heart just as Jesus Christ did.
