Mary was simply an instrument used by God. That is simply not so. God hand picked Mary to be the mother of His Son, Jesus. Jesus was born of Mary because of her faithfulness and obedience to God. Her answer was "fiat," yes. She is to be respected as the mother of God. While we honor Mary, she directs us to her Son who we are to follow only and completely. Her Son is Lord of all. We, God's children are truly thankful for the Blessed Mother Mary's selfless fiat.
We honor you, Mother Mary!
Totus Tuus ("I am completely yours O Mary")
"From my earliest years, my own devotion to Mary was
deeply joined to my faith in Christ."
~St. Pope John Paul II
