Week #4: Religion

Topic: Controversies with the Virgin Mary

We know that, long ago, God sent his only son to save us from sin. The Angel Gabriel announced to a young woman that she was going to give birth a son who would call Jesus Christ. This woman was cleansed of the original sin in order to be a temple and a cot for the child of God. She has been the only woman capable of giving birth to a child as a virgin. She raised and educated our Lord Jesus Christ with a humble and hardworking carpenter named Joseph who accompanied her until the day of his death. We know that Jesus was crucified and buried, and ascended into heaven on the third day after his death. Today, we praise and glorify him because he is life, he is light and salvation.

Many protestant religions launch comments about the catholic religion and their beliefs. One of the most controversial issues is the supposed "worship" to the Virgin Mary. We the catholic christians do not worship the Virgin Mary; we venerate the great person she was in life. Protestants do not understand our reasons and only dedicated to opine. Why we pray to Mary? She is one of the most important figures in christianity and no wonder since she was the selected woman to give birth to the savior. She is the soul mother of all life on earth since there is no woman more pure than she. Like any mom, she was there with her son all the time. She suffered and accepted the death of her son with much pain. "When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. Then he said to the disciple, Behold thy mother; and from that hour the disciple took her into his home "(John 9, 26-27). We are those children that Jesus left his mother. Juan was representing us at that time and are the words of Jesus that tells us: love her, respect her and take care of her because she is your mother. We must open our hearts and receive her in our lives. That's what we catholics do: give honor to whom honor is due. We not stand out the participation of an athlete for his great performance? So how we will not stand out the person who charged the son of God for 9 months?

The biggest controversy on this subject is the prayer of Hail Mary. "Hail Mary full of grace you the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. "What's wrong with this prayer? Is it hard to understand? In this prayer we are only venerating and asking for their intersection. "Full of grace, the Lord is with you." Did not he's telling the truth? Blessed is she who was blessed to be the mother of Jesus Christ.

In conclusion, it is time to open their eyes and begin to understand the beliefs of catholics. We recognize that the mother of the mothers exists, one that will never fail us or missing. Let's give it the value it deserves and ask her to present us before God when He comes to judge the world by fire.

Pray for us Holy Mother of God that we may be made ​​worthy of the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
