Mary’s second outfit is based on one of the apparitions of Our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Fatima. A story that will teach children the love for prayer, especially the Holy Rosary.

Intrinsic to our faith as Catholics, Mary is always with us in spirit, and we grow to understand, appreciate, and admire her nurturing presence far more deeply during difficult times. Please join my loved ones and I in praying for Mary’s intercession and supporting a cause close to our hearts: the Christian Refugee Relief Fund, a campaign to end genocide against Christians and other minority groups including Yazidis in Iraq, Syria, and the surrounding Middle East and North Africa region. The Fund directs 100% donations to benefit these vulnerable humans through medical clinics, food programs, and the rebuilding of homes for families displaced by ISIS.
Our brothers and sisters are being tortured and exterminated for attempting to exercise religious freedom that we, as Americans, take for granted every day. Let us speak out for the rights of all who are vulnerable and express solidarity through our faith in action.

“In her very person as a Jewish girl become the mother of the Messiah, Mary binds together, in a living and indissoluble way, the old and the new People of God, Israel and Christianity, synagogue and church. She is, as it were, the connecting link without which the Faith (as is happening today) runs the risk of losing its balance by either forsaking the New Testament for the Old or dispensing with the Old. In her, instead, we can live the unity of sacred Scripture in its entirety.
To use the very formulations of Vatican II, Mary is ‘figure,’ ‘image’ and ‘model’ of the Church. Beholding her the Church is shielded against the aforementioned masculinized model that views her as an instrument for a program of social–political action. In Mary, as figure and archetype, the Church again finds her own visage as Mother and cannot degenerate into the complexity of a party, an organization or a pressure group in the service of human interests, even the noblest. If Mary no longer finds a place in many theologies and ecclesiologies, the reason is obvious: they have reduced faith to an abstraction. And an abstraction does not need a Mother.”
Excerpted from Rapporto Sulla Fede, a series of 1985 interviews given by Pope Benedict XVI to Vittorio Messori. Recently, I found this book in my archives from high school and this excerpt—Women, a Woman—summates the beauty and truth of our veneration of Mary. ♥
I received this Statue of Blessed Mother as a gift! Does anybody know if this is our Lady of Grace or our Lady of the Rosary?
Thank you Very Much, @ecccematertua for identifying her! God Bless! ❤️Post link
Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!
