Some believe Catholics honor the Blessed Virgin Mary too much. Here are some points to ponder.

1. Mary is the mother of Jesus – the son of God. Jesus himself honored his mother’s wishes at Cana. Who am I not to follow in Jesus’ steps. John 2:1-10

2. Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. It is through the Holy Spirit that Mary conceived Jesus. Matthew 1:1-20

3. Mary is the daughter of God the Father. We are all sons and daughters of God. What a daughter of obedience! Gal. 3:26

While suffering on the cross Jesus gave his mother to us for all eternity. He gave his mother to be our mother (John 19:26-27). Should we not honor her for this reason alone?
