I have a huge devotion to Our Lady, and really she was the first one to bring us to His
Church - my mother, a Protestant Minister's wife, on her journey met some priests and nuns and also met Our Lady! She came to appreciate her and to know that she was the Queen of Heaven and Earth. And if you have a devotion to Mary, there is only one place where you can find a home - The Catholic Church!
Along with this sharing today - I am sharing my wonder and joy at the way that Jesus eats Mary's chin out of love! I have many icons with this depicted, and have seen it with my daughters and their children. They love their mom's so much that they almost try to eat them out of love! Too wonderful to see, and to know that Jesus loved his sinless mother this much is very powerful for me! 
My mother yearned to be Catholic, but could see no way with my dad being a minister in the Protestant Church! But my dad eventually decided that the Lord was calling him and his family to convert. So thank you Mary for planting the seed in our hearts through my mother and her waiting in love and hope for my dad to come to know the Truth also. It was and is a beautiful journey for me and our family and now for my own family and grandchildren! Just as you brought the entire Mexican nation to you through your appearance to Juan Diego... you continually bring us into the Church and a closer walk with your Son, Jesus Christ!
Mary, you watched your Son,whom you knew was God... suffer and die the most brutal of deaths. You also had the priviledge and joy of holding his tiny body in your arms and feeding him from your body. You felt his love for you as he tried to eat your chin out of love for you! Bring us closer to Him this day and every day as you are always there to love and guide us to the Truth! Jesus, we trust in you! Bless-bless, Barb
