5) Like a good mom, she makes everything better
Recently, a Protestant challenged my appeal to Mary for assistance in our troubled times by suggesting that devotion to her was solely interior, with little regard for the active life. What is largely misunderstood about Mary is how she transforms our active life. When praying with Mary, not only do we draw closer to her and her Son, but our unique personal mission can be revealed, energized, and transformed by her intercession.
