Understanding Divine Providence Through Our Lady

[johnnypapa]

The Virgin Mary, Mother of God, is present in time and place. She is now, in this moment, interceding for us with her Son. She is also, in this very moment, enacting the will of God as an instrument of Providence—or better—as the Mother of Providence.

Mary’s role in Providence is clear at Guadalupe, where she chose Juan Diego to bring Christ to the Americas.

[R.W. Smith]

So many of God's deeds demand A LOT of thought on our part, as they sometimes seem contradictory, or even impossible.
Take this quote from the linked article:

I am the perfect ever Virgin Holy Mary, mother of the one great God of truth who gives us life, the Inventor and Creator of people.

Mary is, at one and the same time, both a creature and the mother of her creator! No wonder so many protestants have trouble with the title "Mary, the Mother of God". I had a lot of trouble with the doctrines and dogmas about Mary prior to my decision to come home to The Catholic Church at the age of 38.
"The Mother of God" is one of my favourite titles for the Blessed Virgin Mary, since it strengthens our belief in the divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I pray that our separated brethren in Christ will, one by one, begin to look into the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin and see for themselves that we do not "sleep" until Christ's return. We all have so much to learn.

Let us especially spend time in quiet mental prayer. (Making time to establish the practice of mental prayer is one of my main problems at this point in my spiritual life.) We must all read both the inerrant Scriptures and Church history.

Thanks for sharing that article johnnypapa!
