devotions

In sharing our Catholic-Christian faith, Immaculate Heartworks provides information about various 'Marian Devotions' (prayers, revelations, shrines/holy sites). Devotion to Mary has been a fundamental part of the historic Faith for twenty centuries. The Sub Tuum prayer for example dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Devotion to Mary means honoring her and seeking her intercession. Mary's primary role in salvation revealed in Scripture is to lead all her children to her Son. The Genesis 3:15 prophecy of the Woman and her seed in battle with Satan reaches its climax in Revelation 12 where the Woman's seed now includes not only the Son but also all His followers.

So when Catholics talk about going "to Jesus through Mary" we are not suggesting that Mary's function is to "introduce" us to Jesus. We are talking about growing deeper in our life in Jesus with and through Mary's assistance. With Mary as our model, teacher and guide we become the kind of Christian God wants us to be. With and through Mary we become more and more like Jesus. Thus "through Mary" does not mean that she functions as a door-opening "go-between". In actuality, it means that she is acting as our Mother trying to make us more like her divine Son. We are simply doing what Jesus commanded in John 19 and what the book of Revelation teaches when it says that those who "keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" are "her seed." (Revelation 12:17). To help us keep His commandments, Mary instructs us to "Do whatever he tells you". (John 2:5).*
