Question: I would like know why should pray to mother Mary.I have no satisfied answer this question to protest believer. I am catholic , but yet not got blessing from Mary. could you help me How I get Blessing from mother Mary.

Answer: Hi Anand, the Catholic Faith encourages us to pray to the Blessed Mother because she is our intercessor before Jesus, her Son. As intercessor, advocate, and mediator between Jesus and us, she helps bring our prayers and petitions before Jesus.

She is our intercessor before Jesus because she is the true mother of Jesus the Son of God. Jesus chose to go to the world through Mary. As such, it is only proper that we go to Jesus through her.

When we pray to her, she brings her prayers before her Son, who can refuse her nothing - for as long as what we ask for is in accordance with His Divine Will.

Isn't it that in our world today, whenever we want to reach an important person, we try to seek help from someone close to that person to intercede for us? You do not just knock on the door of the President of the United States and talk to him directly. Instead, you try to find the best way to reach him - through someone close to him, someone whom he cannot refuse, such as the First Lady perhaps.

It is the same with Jesus. The best way to Jesus is through His Mother.
