Thoughts On Mary, Mother of Christ - Sayings of Samuel Godfrey George

Mary, Mother of Christ, is not an idol. She is the most blessed of women. Generations have called her blessed. To approach her and to ask her to intercede for us is not very different from asking another to pray for us. In this case she is most eminent to intercede. This is not the worship of Mary, as no one should worship any other than God the Father. As the bearer of God Himself, Mary is most gifted to impart health to others. The health that she gives is really the health of God.

 

Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, is the link between God and Man. She is the one who has most intimately felt God among all humans. She has borne God in her womb and nursed Him at her breast. No one was more intimately connected with God than her. It is the belief of some that Mary continues to be the link between God and Man. A Jesuit teacher of mine remarked that when Jesus asked John to accept Mary as his mother on the cross He was asking all of his disciples to do the same.
