The Life of Holy Mary Mother of God
Mary of Nazareth said yes to God as a young woman, and her yes changed the world. She raised Jesus in a small village home, followed Him to the foot of the Cross, and prayed with the Apostles at Pentecost. Catholics honor her above all the saints as the Mother of God and their own spiritual mother.
Her motherly care shows up all through Catholic life: the Rosary prayed on long drives, May crownings with flowers, and the roses that tumbled from St. Juan Diego's cloak at Tepeyac in 1531, leaving the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. At Cana it was Mary who noticed the wine had run out and told the servants, "Do whatever He tells you." She still notices what we need.
“Am I not here, I who am your mother?”
Words of Our Lady to St. Juan Diego, according to the Nican Mopohua tradition

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Catholics ask Mary to pray for them?
For the same reason we ask a friend or our own mother to pray for us. Mary always points to her Son, and at Cana Jesus worked His first miracle at her request.
What is the Rosary?
A prayer that walks through the life of Jesus with Mary, using beads to count Hail Marys. Many people pray a decade on a commute, before bed, or during a hard week for steady peace.
What happened at Guadalupe?
In December 1531 Our Lady appeared to St. Juan Diego near Mexico City. She sent him to the bishop with roses gathered in winter, and when he opened his cloak her image was on it. Her feast is December 12.
What is the Memorare?
A short, beloved prayer that begins "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection was left unaided." It is a go-to prayer for moments of worry.
What is a May crowning?
A joyful custom where families and parishes place a crown of flowers on a statue of Mary during May, the month dedicated to her.
What does she ask of us?
Her words at Cana say it best: "Do whatever He tells you." She invites us to trust her Son.
Who wears a Holy Mary shirt?
Mothers, children of Mary, Rosary lovers, and anyone who wants to carry her name close to the heart.
