Summary: “Am I not here, I, who am your mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.”<br> ~Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego<br> The Virgin Mary is not only a model and intercessor for us to Jesus, but she is also our Mother. She is the crown of God’s creation and a great gift to us from the Father. Who is this woman? Why is she so special? Why should we introduce our children to her? In this podcast we answer these questions while sharing our own experiences and thoughts on this amazing woman.<br> Resources:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.faithandreason.com/2015/02/fr-michael-gaitley-mic-marian-consecration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">What is Marian Consecration?</a> (3 minute video)<br> * <a href="http://www.faithandreason.com/2013/04/divine-mercy-and-mary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Divine Mercy and Mary</a> (1 hour video from EWTN show)<br> * Best book >> 33 Days to Morning Glory<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596142448/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1596142448&linkCode=as2&tag=messyparen0b-20&linkId=H6QO5SXWQQG6HIRT" rel="nofollow"></a><br> * <a href="http://www.womenofgrace.com/blog/?p=11631" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Consecrating a child to the Blessed Virgin Mary</a> (prayer)<br> <br> <br>
