Mary Bronze Statues

The Virgin Mary is known as the bearer of Jesus Christ, and while there are not many, if any direct scriptures from her, her legacy has been upheld in high regard for centuries. For many folks that are of a religious disposition, the concept of Mother Mary is indeed, a comfort beyond any. Mary has long since been praised for her role in bringing the world the son of God, but that is not to say that she is worshiped as a Goddess. As Saint Louis Marie de Montfort once said, "We never give more honor to Jesus than we when we honor his Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor him all the more perfectly." There is often controversy in regards to how Mary is praised, but be it not mistaken that while the Blessed Virgin is held in high regard, only God is worshiped. So why then has the legacy of Mary been carried across and revered so greatly? The answer is simple, and often along the same lines for many; as Saint Jose Maria Escriva stated, "Love our Lady. And she will obtain abundant grace to help you conquer in your daily struggle." For those who have faith, especially one that incorporates the Virgin Mary, she is a strong symbol of heavenly protection and comfort.
