📬 The Email That Sparked It All

 

Cyrus read an email from Ray in Texas, who asked a fair and honest question:

 

“Aren’t we spending too much time on Mary? Shouldn’t we focus more on Jesus?”

 

You could practically hear Patrick rubbing his hands together; he was itching to respond. And respond he did... with biblical insight and big-time love for the Blessed Mother.

 

 

Patrick’s first big point: The Rosary is all about Jesus.

 

Even though we’re repeating the Hail Mary, we’re actually meditating on key events in Jesus’ life:

 

-The Annunciation

 

The Baptism

 

-The Passion

 

-The Crucifixion

 

-The Resurrection

 

These are Jesus-focused mysteries. Mary is in the picture, sure... but as the ultimate mom. She is always directing us straight to her Son. 

 

 

🧭 Mary's Role: The Ultimate "Point You to Jesus" Mother

 

If anyone’s worried that Mary might steal the spotlight, Patrick reminds us of John 2:5.

 

“Do whatever He tells you.”

 

That’s Mary talking. Not “Do whatever I say” or “Look at me!” but “Go to Jesus.” 👏

 

So even if someone’s spiritual life gets a little too “Marian-heavy”, Mary will lovingly redirect them. She’s the queen of humility. 

 

 

Scripture shows Mary as a constant presence throughout Jesus’ life:

 

-She carried Him in the womb.

 

-She nursed Him and raised Him.

 

-She taught Him as a child.

 

-She stood at the foot of the Cross.

 

-She was there at Pentecost, too.

 

No one was closer to Jesus in His earthly life. And God Himself chose her for this role. So... if she’s important to Him, she should be important to us too.

 

 

The Bottom Line

 

So don’t stress if you love Our Lady. You’re in excellent company, including Jesus Himself.
