Learn About Mother Mary
What’s the big deal about Mary if our Faith is in God the Father, Sin, and Holy Spirit?
If 1 Timothy 2:5 says:
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…
then how is it not a sin to go to Mary with our prayer intentions?
Whether you get questions like these from others, or have them yourself, tune in to learn why Mary is so important to our lives.

Can’t do a full rosary in one sitting? Try praying one through the day! It looks something like this:
Wake up - pray the lead up prayers
10am - pray the first decade
12pm - pray the second decade
2pm - pray the third decade
4pm - pray the fourth decade
6pm - pray the fifth decade
Bedtime - pray closing prayers
Wanna do something different in prayer? Look up the different titles of Mother Mary and see which name sticks out to you the most. Look up an image of that title, look up the history of that title, and see if there are any prayers attached to that title.
