In the storm of war of wars and rumors of war, in the midst of rampant worldliness common among laity, clergy and hierarchy, in a near-eclipse of the supernatural Glory of our given calling, the Church needs an awakening to the Two needed pillars that can bring stability back to our Church. Praise God that His Church has now seen in a new way the centrality of the Holy Eucharist!​
But where is our Mother? Where is the place she was given in

the Church even from our dying Lord on HIs Cross? Does anyone believe that God is more greatly honored when "the Mother of God" is commonly ignored in the hearts of so many, even as we sometimes rattle off that phrase with the rest of the prayer as meaningless when we sometimes pray her prayer, the Hail Mary?​

Our Catechism declares:
971 “All generations will call me blessed”: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”[Lk 1:48; Paul VI, MC 56] The Church rightly honors “the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of ‘Mother of God,’ to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs.... This very special devotion ... differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration.” [LG 66] The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an “epitome of the whole Gospel,” express this devotion to the Virgin Mary. [Cf. Paul VI, MC 42; SC 103]

Is OUR worship of God made complete with ALL that is rightfully "intrinsic" to Christian worship?

Thank you Chevy. And to continue this subject, from Bp. A. Schneider's Credo concerning examples of Marian Devotion:
987. Sr. Lucia of Fatima relates that “the most holy Virgin, in these last times in which we live, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations, that cannot be solved by the Rosary.

There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.” [Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité, The Whole Truth about Fatima, vol. 3 (Buffalo: Immaculate Heart Publications, 1990), 337].
