After spending so much time fighting over her and defending her on other forums, I would like to have a thread where we talk about our experiences of asking the Theotokos for her intercessions.
I know for me, getting to know our Blessed Mother has been a lifetime experience for me, and has been healing for me in many ways. While I had at first rejected her help, I now welcome her succour, and run to her aid when needed. I love the prayers we say to her, and just love loving her. It is comforting for me to know that I have a spiritual mother who can be there for me and comfort me in ways my biological mother can't.
In regards to her intercessions, earlier this year the doctors saw some abnormal cells, and thought it could be cancer. I asked for her intercessions, and drank some Holy Water that was taken from the Church where the miracle of the Pokrov occured, and have been fine ever since. It is my belief that through her intercessions, everything turned out okay.
What about you?
