A note from Marion Amberg
America loves Mary — and Mary loves America!
You’ll find Mary’s love all across our great land: in wee chapels and grand basilicas, in hillside grottos and on a tiny island, even in a ghost town. Erected in fulfillment of a vow, Our Lady of the Rockies at Butte, Montana, is the third tallest statue in the country! What do all these legendary sites have in common? Miracles wrought by Mary’s intercession.
According to the glossary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a miracle is “a sign or wonder, such as a healing or the control of nature, which can only be attributed to divine power.” Catholics don’t pray to Mary, but we do ask her intercession. Just like we might ask a friend or a relative to storm heaven for us in times of need, we ask Mary to intercede on our behalf. You have no greater friend or a more powerful prayer ally than the Blessed Mother.
