Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary’s Intercession
Part Two
Dear Children of God! how are you? How is school? Are you are learning attentively? It is better if you start studying hard beginning now! Two months have passed since the New Year began. So then, what have you learned through these times? Some schools have started trail exams, testing students their knowledge. So how was the exam? Hope you have scored good grades! Well done!
Little ones! If you remember on our previous lesson, we have learned a bit about intercession. For this lesson, we will see about Holy Mother’s Saint Virgin Mary’s intercession. So, follow us attentively!
Dear Children of God! The grace of intercession is endowed (given) from God. Saints, with the gift they are bestowed (given) from the Lord, having faith with the covenant (vow, promise) of saints, pleading and commemorating by their name, celebrating their holiday, God saves for them. When a person sin but then return back in repentance, and plead by Saint’s covenant, He will have mercy in them saving their soul.
It is in scripted in holy scriptures about the intercession and miraculous work of Saint Mary, Angels, Forefathers and Mothers. We will see some stories from the holy books. Foremost, we will see a story of miracles done by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by the Saint Mary’s intercession.
Dear Children of God! There are many who were saved from their problem, anxiety and evil deed, by the intercession of Saint Mary. Sinners whose are forgiven and reconciled with the Lord are many.
Saint John the evangelist has written one wedding story for us on the Holy Bible (2:1-11). On that story, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Saint Mary and the Apostles were invited. Then the guests started to eat and drink. But soon after, the wine was finished. So the owners were shocked and worried. Because, there were many guests and they cannot fetch wine.
After this, our Holy Mother Saint Mary saw their worry and felt sad. She then told her Beloved Son about it. Our Lord accepted her request and “Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet. They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” (John 7-10)
Dear Children of God! You see how Saint Mary interceded for the weddings when they ran out with wine! She is our interceder in the time of troublesome, grief and hardship.
Let us tell you another story from the book of “Miracles of Saint Mary.” There was a man called “Belayeseb” which means “a man who eats people.” This man was very cruel, evil and disobedient who defies God’s Law and order. Then one day he was walking by the street and met a beggar. The beggar was thirsty and so he asked Belayeseb to fetch him water by the name of Saint Mary.
It is amazing how this people eater, evil and cruel sinful man, use to commemorate the feast of Saint Mary, feeding and watering poor people. But the man who was good to beggars became cruel, mean and evil man. Now when he heard Saint Mary’s name, he gave the beggar a tip of water into his mouth. However, before the water entered his mouth, the beggar died.
Then after, Simon (the man called belayeseb) died and was put trial in front of God. The Angel of death tried to take his soul to hell. But right then, Holy Mother Saint Mary came and claimed for his soul. She said to her Beloved Son “This soul is mine. You have told me you will save souls who commemorate and celebrate my day feeding and watering the poor. This soul has been commemorating my day feeding the poor and watering them by my name.” By this intercession of her, this soul was saved from entering hell. (Miracles of Mary 12, page 43)
You see children! Due to Saint Mary’s mediation and intercession, Simon’s soul was saved from hell just by that tip of water he gave to the beggar and love of our Holy Mother. Is this not a miracle! Some heresies (none Christians) might not believe in her and refuse to accept her intercession. However, as we have seen from these two stories and others witnesses from Holy Scriptures, she helps us repent and cleanse from our soul through miraculous work; that is why we rely on her.
Farewell children! Hope you have understood the lesson and believe in the intercession of our Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary throughout your life to be saved from all kinds of evil.
May The Lord’s mercy and Saint Mary’s intercession be with you, Amen!
