Our recent “Entering Canaan” mercy retreat was titled “totally Yours” the role of Mary in healing from abortion. Many of the women there struggled in their relationship with Mary. They felt ashamed because of what they had done and that they were responsible for the death of her Son
Mary was given to us by Jesus at the foot of the cross as a sure guide to Him in heaven. In fact Mary’s very existence is to bring us to her Son
When I was struggling in healing a woman I was seeing for counseling asked me,”Have you ever apologized to Mary for what you did?” I hadn’t. That day I went to church and told Mary how sorry I was. I asked her to forgive me and to take me as her child- I learned she already had.
Mary is not our adversary, she is our sure way to virtue, to love, to Jesus.
If you have not told her you are sorry set some time aside this advent to speak to her of your heart . She is there in the manager and she is there at the cross offering her Son in mercy and love for the forgiveness of our sins
