Not why but how

Why I need Mary if there is Jesus? This question is repeated over and over again, being asked by many Protestant friends and some Catholic sisters and brothers. The only Person who, undoubtedly, never posed such a question, was Jesus himself; He, however mysterious this may sound, indeed needed Mary to be here for you and me.

So next time, when tempted to repeat the old, well known question, please change you mind and ask yourself instead:  How may I express my gratitude to Mary for there is Jesus...?

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us to your Son.

He is Love

Some people think that God cannot be understood when referred to in any human language.

That's, undoubtedly, true, and thus - as Pseudo Dionysius once stated - it is easier for us to tell who God is not than to declare who He is. Therefore, respecting and esteeming formal ways of the theological approach, it is better for us all to love God than to ponder over Him.

If it was otherwise He would not provide us with image, mystery and Goodness of His Sacred Heart.

The Encounter: It's all About Jesus

The Litany of Loreto is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful Christian prayers known to
the faithful. Some people would probably say that this is not a Christian but rather the Marian prayer.

They are only partially right, though, for – what is evident and clearly seen through this meditation – Mary is powerful and beautiful both thanks to Jesus and
for Him.

It is He who has granted His Mother with all the beauty, so we all may know that for a human being nothing is more
worthy and life-changing than an encounter with the Person of Christ.
