Mother Mary holding John Paul II in Her arms when he was shot in 1981.
(click on the picture for original sized image)
This happened on May 13, 1981. Pope John Paul II was shot as he arrived in St. Peter’s Square to speak to the people who had gathered there. When he was shot, he was holding the rosary, which he always carried. When he fell to the ground, out of nowhere, a woman rushed to his side and embraced him. That pic is shown above. The picture is said to have been taken by one of the gathered people who was busy taking Pope’s pics with his camera. The woman vanished as quickly as she appeared.
The gunman was apprehended in the square and sentenced to life in prison. The pope was critically wounded but survived after surgery and a long recovery. The surprising fact is that all the bullets passed just past his vital internal organs. When he recovered finally, the first thing Pope asked for was his rosary. When he got it in his hands, he said that he felt Mother Mary directing the bullets’ path through him. Sure, John Paul II was always in the habit of praying the rosary regularly. He had once said “The best prayer I like is the Rosary”.
Joaquin Navarro Valls, who is the one spokesman from The Vatican, said that they made a lot of studies for years of this incredible picture and of course about the quality of the developing of the picture because when it was developed nobody could see very well because the image was not clear. Finally, and after so many controls and being looking and checking by all the experts in photography (around the world), they decided that there were no tricks in it and today they give us this beautiful gift from our Mother of God. You can see the Mother of God holding John Paul II in her arms. Beautiful right?
I dont know whether You will believe me or not. But many do. And among those who believed, Bishop Thomas Wenski recreated the picture on a glass window at his Florida residence. You can see that below…
Let this remind us of the awesome power of the intercession of Mother Mary and lead us to take a strong decision to pray the rosary regularly.

Nonsense.
Mary was the Mother of Jesus/Yeshua
however, she WAS NOT the Mother of God.
Please read the bible for yourself
Hi Dee,
Thanks a lot for accepting that “Mary was the Mother of Jesus/Yeshua”
And I believe that Jesus is GOD.
So, I didn’t get you saying “however, she WAS NOT the Mother of God.”…

This is a very nice picture you can get it also on http://www.discountcatholicstore.com
The stain-glass window is a different picture it is Our Lady of Czestochowa.
Also I would be careful with talking about the first picture, we (Catholics) do not need special assurance that God loves the Pope, and since you have no authority to declare this picture a real photography you might think of quoting some documents of the Church that state the authenticity of this picture as photography.
Thank you for bringing our attention to this picture it is always good to have another source of inspiration. God Bless.
very very very good picture
Nice art, but unbelievable story.
Hello Dee,
How easily you scripted that word “Nonsense”
Shall i tell you something buddy,
It’s that poor nonsensical lady who brought your saviour in to this world.
It’s that very same nonsensical lady who gave up her only child for your salvation.
God bless you friend
Good testimony that Mother Mary will intercede for every one like the way she did for Late Pope John Paul II.
We believe in Faith in Mother Mary and her intercession through her Son Jesus Christ.
Mother Mary Save Us.
Jesus Save Us.
I believe such picture without any confusion, but let me outline some of the non Catholic believers suggestions; i) Why this picture has not published on the same spot of incident.
ii) Who was taken the picture that time.
iii) Can you publish this Popes picture through News papers, TVs and all Media in the world so that, those who are in doubt must accept and believe to the full story of the mysterious. Hence, I wish to give those who have been dealt a very best in their career and May God Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit be with you always.
You should not worship Mary. She is NOT God. Sure she was blessed to carry the Son of God but I repeat she is NOT God. Also, the fact that the Son of God, Jesus, said to not call any man “Father” on this earth and yet you do the exact thing that the Son of God told you not to do by calling some man a POPE. The word “POPE” means “Father”. So you decide to worship Mary and worship a man you call Father and deny the true God by doing so.
Nice picture, but the story behind it is untrue. The aide mentioned as taking the picture and verifying it was contacted and he said that it was NOT true. While it is a nice thought, I would prefer to have the arms of God wrapped around me, not one of his creations!
Hi Ken,
But please remember God himself was in Her womb before He was born here! Dont forget that!
And you say you don’t even like her hugging you? Interesting! LOL!
Georgy N Joseph
It ia an awesome portrait and very true. It is very sad there are so many unbelievers. Catholics do not worship Mary we have devotion to her. She is the mother of Jesus who is God. Remember Jesus said not to weep for him but for your children and yourselves. Nobody gets to heaven unless they go through the mother. And only those who believe in the Blessed Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Blessed be God forever in his angels and his saints. Let us Bless the Lord, Thanks be to God!
Keep up the great work Georgy!
I disagree with what Jackie King posted stating “Nobody gets to heaven unless they go through the mother”. Where in the BIBLE does it state this? Jesus said HE is the Way, the Truth and the life and no man can come to the Father except through HIM – NOT MARY!!!. Please read your bible. This is heresy people…wake up! Line yourselves up with the BIBLE.
Where in the Bible does it say that everything about our faith is contained in the bible?
You are making a very erroneous assumption if you think that everything that is true about the Christian faith is contained in the bible.
The Christian faith is an Apostolic Faith. This means that it is passed on from Bishop to Bishop down through the centuries and originated with Jesus. And this very notion is in the bible:
2Thes. 2:15″So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.”
Do you think the bible fell from Heaven on Good Friday? In fact the entire bible is tradition that finally made it to paper one day and declared canonical by these true apostolic bishops. So if you believe that the bible is from God then you need to obey the authority of the Catholic Church that declared these 27 new testament books to be so.
In Christ
Peter
ps/ One thing the Bible does say about Mary is that all generations will call her blessed.(read Luke chapter 1)
I don’t like to discourage anyone and indeed we know that Mary and Jesus were assuradely with the Holy Father when he was shot! My concern is that if this is a favrication or exaggeration, some harm is done to truth itself and truth is our message always. We have no need of imagined or exaggerated images or tales to know that the faith holds and treasurers TRUTH above all because as Jesus saide: “I am the way, the truth and the life!
Thus you can understand, I would not proliferate this email unless it has some serious strong affirmations from the vatican and I for one have never seen or heard of any.
Have a wonderful and blessed New Year!

The Word of God is THE only standard for living out faith based on what JESUS said Himself and that is that HE is the only WAY, THE truth and THE Life and no man can come to THE Father except through HIM. Now, that tells me that I cannot get to heaven unless #1 I go through Jesus (Not Mary), #2 I have to know what my faith is about in order to walk it out and He supplied that for me by divinely inspiring and preserving His book for those who believe unto salvation. Based on the BIBLE I must line everything up to His Word for what is truth and not what some Bishop or Pope or whomever wants to tell me I need to do. If it’s going against what the Bible tells me than the Bible isn’t wrong, they are.

You may like this painting of a lousy photoshop job as far as I’m concerned, but the story that is being dished up is, of course, complete drivel. There is TV-footage of the attack and the wounded pope, no Mary in sight, there were hundreds of people present – apparently apart from the unidentified photographer no-one ever saw an apparition of any saint -just policemen and security guards, who for one thing don’t look like St. mary as she is usually depicted. The Pope even went the length of thanking St. Mary of Fatima (why not Mary of Lourdes or Czestochowa or any other Mary remains unclear) instead of the hard working highly skilled doctors who really saved his life.
Can’t the other Christians stay out of the way of what us Catholics believe. No one ever said we worship the Virgin Mary, yet you all assume that you do. We Catholics are the last ones that want to hear your preaching.
Yeah., all ,we must believe the Church . So, it contains Holy Trinity , Mother of God & all the other angels & Saints. Catholic is the only one which is started first. Other Churches were come out later as they misunderstand the TRULY MEANING OF THE BIBLE!! They(other churches) are so selfish in their life.
Beautiful story, but according the the TV footage video of the incident, Pope John Paul II fell back in the jeep he was in, not to the ground, no mentioned of any woman rushing out of nowhere was mentioned. If this was the case everyone in the world would have heard of it. This would be on National TV for years to come.
All my dear friends,Why do we argue upon our faith?Mother Mary- divine or not,Is she truly in the picture or the photo being fabricated?Which denomination is true? Ans= The very truth is Devil wants we children of God to argue and fight.Remember “If we judge others and argue, we will be very busy doing that and we will have no time to love” After all we have a divine calling- to love and be a representative of Christ Jesus in this falling community. We need to be united to fight this spiritual warfare. Why look in to our differences when we have sweet Jesus as common.For those interested to know about divinity of Mother Mary. Also refer Quran- sura 3 and sura 19.
^^ Truly Dr. Arun, and even if I haven’t read it in Quran, I indeed open to all religion in the world, since they are ONE in preaching, “do good deeds and spread the WORD of salvation.” Which is really needed nowadays, so WE people, children of GOD must be in ONE to defeat SATAN and his bad intentions. Remember in CHRIST ALONE we can find salvation and peace we need. So if we are with HIM, in HIM we are at peace..GOD BLESS YOU EVERYONE…
Yes Indeed Holy Mary is MOTHER OF GOD. Remember the words of Gabrial The Angel ,” Hail Mary full of Grace THE LORD IS WITH THEE”. Holy Mary still Live & works for us. In her apparition at different parts of world she has proved it.
Mother Mary Please Pray for All of US.
Mary IS THE MOTHER OF GOD, BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST IS GOD. Don’t get it twisted – Mary is not the mother of the Holy Trinity, but she is the mother of Jesus Christ, who is God, so the Church gives her the title ‘MOTHER OF GOD’.
Dear all
The acceptence of Mother Mary as the mother of God is only when Jesus was on earth in Human form.
It was the mother who brought him up in the holy way,walked in all alks of his life even unto his death. After ressurection also mother Mary was present during the pentecost which is the ultimate expression in the bible of the Holy Trinity to accept Mother Mary as the Holy mother like other saints.When jesus was on earth he accepted His mothers request to help the marriage party from embarrasment even though His time had not come to do the miracles and Gods work.
Such deeds show that Mother Mary will intercede for us to Jesus for attaining Salvation an enter the Godly kingdom.Revelation also describe Mary as the woman who crushes the serpent under her feet.
Definetly Mother Mary is important
This is one misconceptions of non-Catholics. The Pope is the leader of the Church and is the successor of St Peter, the first Pope.
Jesus founded His Church by declaring St Pope as the ROCK where Jesus said HE would build His Church.
Please read your Bible thorougly. Read the full version (Catholic version of 73 books) not the Protestant version where there are only 66 books. Protestants are PICK and Choose. No wonder there are thousands of Protestant denominations around having their own interpretations of the Bible.
God bless……
Catholics worship only one God (in three persons as the TRinity-God the Father, God the son, Jesus and God the Holy spirit))and Catholics NEVER worship Mary. She is however highly respected (Blessed), venerated & can act as intercessor.
She is the ARK of the Covenant because she carried JESUS in her womb. From Genesis to the book of Revelation, Mary has been part of the Salvation history.
God talks about a said after Adam & Eve had committed sin, I will put EMNITY between you and a woman. The same is true in the book of revelation, a woman clothed with Sun about to give birth to a child that a dragon wanted to devour….
Hi Georgy
Why are you spreading rumours? I thought this was a good site, especially since I know you.But when I saw this post I am really disappointed.Why are you posting something which is not even approved by vatican and just promoted by a hoax site? It doesn’t need an expert to state that the photo is a fake.Though my catholic faith is not shaken by these false propaganta by followers of the catholic church,I am really unhappy seeing you promote something which is false.
I agree with Jobin. This is a fake. Please stop publishing this kind of information that only make us (the Catholics), look like liars.
i hope the blessed virgin protects me from the evil one and all his demons and all temptations.
for me the photo is attractive and heart touching. but the authenticity of the picture is questioned. so i dont care about it unless it is approved or declined by vatican.
this type of things should not be posted which might be rumors or just imagined.
I’m really impressed with the miracle, I pray to Our Blessed Mother Mary that she may hold me with her comfortable arm.
At the end of the day: “How happy are those who believe without seeing…”
its very nice. their is only one God, but in three person or the holy trinity,, it is the God the Father, God the Son, The Holy Spirit.. thank you..
To answer this question one has to go back to the Gospel of Luke and examine what was Mary’s response when Angel Gabriel announced to her about the birth of Jesus. She was puzzled at this news. She was amazed, she was afraid and could not believe this news. The punishment she had to face for having a child without a husband was, as per Moses’s law, death by stoning. what a disaster? How she would have faced her righteous parents and her society? But still she opted to listen to the word of God and said YES to it. She said “I am the handmaid of God and let it be done unto me as you said. What does this mean? She listened to the Word of God and gave herself fully to the will of God. Jesus said, one who listens to the word of God and do it, is his mother and brother? Here Jesus confirmed that his relationship with His mother was something above the usual human mother-son relationship. Remember her Praise song, Magnificat which she prayed at the house of Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke. She said, hereinafter generations and generations will proclaim me as blessed.
According to Luke, Elezabeth’s statement “who am I for the Mother of my Saviour to come to me” confirmed that Mary is the Mother of God. When everyone doubted and abandoned Jesus, it was Mary, the blessed mother who stood courageously at the foot of the cross. With all his agonies, Jesus, who was going through His last minutes in this world, did not forget to talk to her and entrust her to his faithful disciple, John. May was in the upper room to prepare the disciples of Jesus in prayer to receive the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Looking at all these events as mentioned in the Gospels, no one can deny that Mary’s role is not important in our journey with the Lord. She is the only person who was physically connected with the Son of God for almost 9 months. So how can any Christian deny her? She is the one who paved the way for the 1st miracle of Jesus at the wedding of Cana. She believe in Her son and told the workers to do whatever He tells them. She was the intercessor before her son at the most difficult time of that family at the Cana wedding house to save them from shame. We can most certainly ask her to intercede for us in the presence of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ and lead us to the heart of her Son. But remember, we don’t worship her. (nimalp100@gmail.com)
I’m Catholic and I love the Virgin Mary. But I don’t think this picture is real (I mean, seriously guys) and it’s quite repulsive to spread this as a miracle or whatsoever. Of course faith is important but blind faith is something else. Surely the blessed Mary, or the saintly pope, would not in any way be happy that we’re worshiping something completely fake (not to mention something being profited by some businessmen out there producing pictures and asking you to buy it). We don’t need a picture to see miracles. Just open your eyes and the REAL beauty of God’s creations are surrounding us (people we love, our community, nature). We don’t need this picture. In fact, it’s just sick to fall for something like this.
I was a Catholic for 35 years of my life. Born into it from both parents sides all the way back for every generation. I went to private Catholic school and then FINALLY found the truth.
You must go through the Son in order to get to the Father. This means ONLY pray to God through Jesus.
Do not worship false idols (one of God’s Commandments stricken from the catholic bible). There is a red flag for ya! You have to search for a “special” bible if you want to read a Catholic bible. There is only one true bible. Made up of 66 books and it is called the Holy Bible. Unfortunately the rest of the books that were written were either destroyed by the scribes or the Vatican or hidden away in the Vatican.
Do not call anyone Father but our creator!
Baptism is being born again, not removing the sin from a newborn child. Being saved through Baptism is required in order to get to heaven…along with a LOT more! You have to be able to speak and understand who Jesus Christ is in order to be Baptized. Jesus was Baptized…as an adult!
The Vatican lies to all the Catholics, they have secrets and miles of scripture they do not want the world to know about for fear of losing their power, PURE GREED. This is a FACT. I will not elaborate, believe me or not, I don’t care!
Confessing sins to a priest is not going to get you forgiveness from God!
Rituals are for Cults and this is the biggest cult ever in existence! Where in the Holy Bible do you see the word Catholic? How many places do you find the word Christian? Catholics are NOT Christians, they are Catholics.
I am sick of the world being wrong about Jesus…God’s Wrath is upon us and you will find out very soon exactly what God’s truth is and it isn’t going to come from the puppet masters in the Vatican. That is a filthy greedy place that is no better than Sodom and Gomorrah! You all think I am talking about Revelations and I am not. God has something in store for us and only the TRUE CHRISTIANS who have open hearts to God will figure it out.
Oh and who gave any Catholic the right to appoint ANYONE a saint? That is only God’s right!Your church was NOT started by an apostle! Christianity was started by Jesus and his apostles followed him…Catholicism began with the Scribes!Get it right! They knew who Jesus was, they didn’t want to lose their power! GREED!
God bless you and I pray for your souls and the souls. I do not dislike Catholic people. It is the root of their religion that harmed me and I do not like it. Some of your beliefs are correct but come on…when you see a red flag, it is not just acceptable because they say so! It isn’t your faults, you have been lied to and you don’t know any better. They are good at brainwashing, I know…I went through it! In all that 35 years we never even opened a Bible at mass!
The Virgin Mary is a blessed woman but her and all the biblical people you call saints are in heaven shaking their heads in shame at you. The only Saints are the ones God appoints (like the apostles). And the Fatima thing…didn’t happen! It was a hoax to get more publicity which gained the church more money. They paid those children to lie! It is a fact. Where do you think they went when they died? Not all Catholics will go to hell when they die. I am not saying that but just like Christians, a good part will because we are selfish, greedy, gossipy, judging, lying, adulteress, fools! Repent and get it right. Put GOD first! Not yourself.
Children of God, what are you arguing about? Unbelievable how someone can spend so much time to criticize, condemn, judge! Spend you time in knowledge of God.
I am catholic and no one will ever tell me that Virgin Mary does not have a special place in our christian journey. Do you imagine watching your child dying for useless sinners? She is our mother, a mother of all of you as long as you are christians, catholic or not. Remember th words of Jesus to John, “woman, behold your son” John represented me and you, the christians.
If you still dont believe, pray to God to show you the truth but refrain from judging and using strong words against your brothers and sisters in christ.
Gill
show me a verse that says mary is the intercissor? Hbr 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
notice the pronoun (He) thats Jesus, not mary
mary is only virgin until Jesus was born, Mat 1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. but after the birth of Jesus, she is not anymore a virgin, she had children Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. see also matthew 13:55, galatian 1:19
Jesus said come unto me, He never said go to my mother Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Dee,
nonsense is very easy to spring up in your mouth but if you only knew how nonsense it is to put your life in jeopardy believing that Mary is nonsense, you would run at Her feet just to say SORRY. you love your mum so does Jesus love His mum….pls ponder and reflect…
kigs
just dont talk of what you do not know. god is vast and i believe you are yet to discover Him. Mary too is vast and full of mysteries that are only revealed to the humble children of God.
jane,
once born and baptised catholic, forever you are whether you like it or not. the fact that you left the catholic way does not guarantee you to talk that way and you should also not labour in vain to make others leave. jesus would rather build His kingdom with the few who remain faithful to Him than many who are scandulous and disobidient.yes, the church might be traditional but who told you Jesus changes. he remains the same forever and so the church must remain like the saviour, never changing but apostolic. we africans say, never shit in the cowshed and leave, you never know you might come back tomorrow and eat it back. be watchful in what you say, you might be forced to chew back your cud. mother mary is not a joke to talk of her anyhowly. secondly you dont even know what you are missing. anyway i cant make you to understand but i hope somehow someday God will guide your lost soul. watch out where the mind and heart lead you lest you loose the way and loose Jesus…..
Hello dear! Go to Mary/Come to Mary;give yourself to her care;YOU WILL DEFINITELY FEEL HER TOUCH OF MOTHERLY LOVE AND CARE,YOU CAN ENJOY THE PEACE OF YOUR LIFE.MOTHER MARY BY MY SIDE I OVERCOME ALL MY ENEMIES.
THESE ARE MORE EXPERIENCED THAN SAID.
AVE MARIA!
This is for liberata, jane and anyone else who misunderstood what it is to be Christian, or Catholic for that matter.
Baptism, whether it be catholic or protestant, gives us the passport to the Body of Christ – the Church.It does not guarantee us eternal life. If you hear a preacher telling you that it does, LEAVE. That preacher is a wolf among the sheep – or a ‘pedler of God’s word’, as St Paul called them.
Even after baptism, it does not mean that we are automatically ‘born again’. If after baptism, you feel nothing has changed inside you, you are not ‘born again’
You see, the Holy Spirit will not enter a temple – which is us – that is dirty, impure, sinful. The Holy Spirit is Pure,Sinless and HOLY-hence the title.
How can you expect the Holy Spirit to enter your heart if it is still dirty and sinful ?
How do you become ‘born again’ ?
Make Jesus your best ever friend, closer than your husband/wife, closer than your parents/ or brothers and sisters.
Get on your knees, confess all your sins to God/Jesus, while fasting.
Ask for God’s forgiveness.
Learn the ‘sinner’s prayer’ and pray that all thoughout your working days – its one sentence.
The Lord will not tire of hearing it, but will be beside you.
Fast until you feel the joy of the Lord’s presence in your heart – it could be 2 or 3 days, or months even. Don’t give up.
When you feel the joy of the Lord’s presence in your heart, you will want to go in to the streets and tell the world of your new Friend.
Then you are ‘born again’
Remember, demons will be right beside you to drag you back to your old ways.
This is where praying the Rosary everyday is advisable.
If you pray the Rosary often, our Holy Mother will ‘step on the head of the serpent’ if they get near you. Demons are scared of the Rosary.
Take no notice of those who do not know its power – protestant scoffers. Satan uses them to discourage you.
Finally, remember to pray from the heart – not parrot-fashion.
Learn to ‘pray without ceasing’
This means, be aware of Jesus’s presence right beside you 24-hours a day.
Talk to Him as you would to your closest friend
never forgetting that He is Holy.
May the Lord Our God bless each and everyone of you.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says to be born again, you must make Jesus Christ you’re dwelling place and become a brand new creature.
Your old sinful life-style must go and a life-style of holiness must replace it. Without this, their is no true born again experience. John 3:5-6 says if you are still seeking the things of the flesh, you are yet in the flesh.
Those in the flesh will be preoccupied with how they dress, what they we wear and how to make dressing impressions. But those in the spirit want to please God.
If you are remembered by your dressing, you have lost God’s glory. When God’s glory is upon you, nobody will notice what you wear because your face will radiate his glory. Are you born again? How are you known?
PLEASE SEEK THRU SCRIPTURAL ADVISE,GOD BLESS.
We Indians worship our father and mother and elders.
So what is wrong if we worship Mary,the mother of God?
If you believe Jesus is the incarnation of God, then you can and should worship Mary and that worship is ultimately for God and not for Mary the human.
I have to agree that a lot of arguments seen here about the relevance of Mother Mary. Those who are against her, use strong language and those with her are not that much strong. One thing is sure, the Bible can be explained only with the help of Holy Spirit and the true meaning of the Word is reveled to those having the full fillment of Holy Spirit. Those with the Holy Spirit would show off his results. Of course, the revelations of angry people are not through the Holy Spirit. The God is Almighty and he could send his son to the earth directly, without a human womb. Yet, Jesus borne from Mother Mary, according to the plan of the Almighty God to show the mankind a model to follow. What ever in the Bible is with a specific purpose and devine plan. No part of it can be neglected according to the human intellect. Mother Mary was selected as the mother of Jesus by the Holy God himself and the authors of the New Testament was selected by Jesus. The ‘true christians’ who follow the Appostles and rejecting Mother Mary are opposing the God’s plan by neglecting part of the Bible.
And one question: Do you think God will not answer your prayer if you ask him directly. By intersession prayers you can get what you need by the grace of our Lord but you definitely cannot come closer to God and experience his true love. So my friends our God is not a partial God, he does not listen only to the prayers of Mother Mary or saints or any elders but anyone who calls in His name.
And as in the above picture it might be a normal woman or Mother Mary but whomever it is they are sent from God. As it is said God will send his angels to protect you, in the same way He has protected him. So all praise and all thanks be to God forever
Im very new here,but ur effort in this website is praisable,,God wil help u to do more things.. How can i down load that good songs from ur site plz.
Regarding the Blessed Mother’s title, “Mother of God,” please understand that this title is a logical expression of our belief about the divine and human nature of Jesus. When Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, in the womb of Mary, his divine nature became forever fused with his human nature. He was forevermore The God Man…both human AND divine, the two natures inseparable. It follows, then, that we cannot speak of Mary as being only the mother of Jesus’ human nature, but not his divine nature. Therefore, Mary can rightfully be called the Mother of God. This does not mean that she pre-existed God. She is, indeed, a creature, but she was also the mother of Jesus, and his divine and human natures are inseparable. All Catholic doctrine about Mary boils down to our understanding of the nature of her Son. Any title she has, any honor we give to her, is another way of honoring Him. He who told all of us, not just the apostle John, “Behold your mother!” (This statement of Jesus also tells us He had no brothers and sisters, or Mary would have been given over to their care after His death. She is forever virgin.)
Dear George,
I came across your site when searching for Hindi devotional songs, and I said how nice at such a young age you are serving the lord. But after coming to this page, I wonder if you are taking the right path. Jesus mother Mary needed some one to help her so when he was on the cross, he told one of his disciple John to look after her. She is not considered god and we are not to pray to her. I sincerely pray that you search the bible for the real truth
hello georgy,
JESUS IS LORD AND NOT GOD, GOD IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE FATHER AND JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD THATS
WHY HE IS KNOWN AS LORD AND NOT GOD,IFOUND A
COMMENT THAT YOU WERE AGREEING THAT JESUS IS GOD.
SO JUST TO CLEAR THE DOUBT, BUT I AM ALSO NOT VERY WELL VERSED IN THE BIBLE, I AM A MASTER MARINEER
(SHIPS CAPTAIN)NOT APRIEST, JUST A FRIENDLY COMMENT FROM ME THANKS AND BYE
My daughter shreya remains busy looking pics of popes,cardinals & bishops of different times. This beautiful pic of Mother Mary and Pope john Paul II makes her to sing “maria tujhe pranam…tujhe pranam” spontaneuosly. And I can’t but join her in singing this beautiful song. Really ….our Mother is great.
Pope john paul 2nd, may u rest in peace. Amen.
What a saving mother and a sweet one @ that. Thank you Lord. May his soul and the soul of the faithful rest in perfect peace, amen.
hmm as a ex catholic I know and understand the longtime debate of the Deity of Mary. However it seems to me the Mary was Blessed by god to bear the son of GOd .. but she was a Sinner like us all …when she said unto the angel who appeared to her ….I rejoice in God my SAVIOUR …she needed saving like us all .The Lord jesus is our only way to the father he said it ….I beleive it ….thats enough God bless u all
Hi CastheKiwi — One of the things you will find is true of all Catholic beliefs about the Blessed Mother is that they all point to Jesus, and what we believe about Him. Yes, indeed, Mary needed a savior like the rest of us. But because the Son of God, who is the essence of goodness, purity and truth, could not become incarnate in the womb of a sinful woman, Mary was SAVED from the stain of original sin at the moment of her conception: thus the Church’s doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. By being SAVED from original sin, Mary was able to become a pure and sinless vessel, befitting her Son, who is the eternal Son of God. I heard it explained this way once: Imagine that there is a deep pit concealed along a path, and a woman walking along the path falls into the pit. A man comes along and pulls her out of the pit, after she falls in; he has saved her from the pit. Another woman approaches, and the man stops her from falling into the pit. Has he saved the second woman? Of course, he has saved her, he just did it BEFORE she fell in. So Jesus is indeed Mary’s savior. However, she was saved BEFORE becoming tainted with original sin, due to the anticipated merits her Son would gain for her from the cross. God bless.
how many really of you here have really really deeply profoundly finished reading the Bible?? Everyone here seems to know it all when everytime I read the Bible all I can see is our INFIRMITIES.. So many questions that no one can answer not even you or me..but the Word of God alone..
1. Why do people break away from the true bride of Christ after all? (see the outcome now? DIVISION)
2. But why do we,Catholics,need images of Jesus or God when you can put HIM in your heart and not in your eyes? Also, structures of saints when God himself said never make any images of anything in heavens or on earth..(Deut 5)WHY???
We are all unworthy!! so stop pointing fingers to each other and feel the need of presence of God..In that we can know which path to take..We should help each other..No one is higher compared to the other here.. We are all equal,those who found Him.. So don’t make yourself wiser than the other.
Stop arguing, we should be united in the name of Jesus..
Regarding God saying not to make images, I believe He was referring to images that would be worshipped as gods (like the golden calf), not images of holy beings or people that we may venerate (that is, HONOR, not worship)as a result of their example of piety and faithfulness to God. After all, right after God commanded the Israelites not to make any “graven images,” He instructed them about how to fashion the Ark of the Covenant, and the instructions included images of cherubim (angels).
i’m so sorry, i’m a catholic but it is the one thing i questioned now about us..When i read the Bible, i started to fear..hmmm..Isaiah 40:18 “To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble Him?”.. isn’t it enough that we should stop this images and focus to put Him in our hearts..FEEL THE REAL HIM?? We made Him less because of this images.. Our Jesus is more than these and nothing can resemble Him.. agree? Can you get me? He is real and not this stuff.. And also, try to look closely at different carved Jesus in our church,it has different faces..If you were Him would you be happy that people resembles you in different faces?..I THINK ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REALLY SEEK HIM, AND AFTER THAT YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THAT THESE CARVED IMAGES ARE USELESS and i can’t even look at these images in our church now..coz i feel Him real now.. I mean i didn’t say that i don’t feel in relationship with Him before but now it’s something really REAL..more REAL..after i started reading deeply the Bible.. I WANT YOU TO MEDITATE THIS ONE AND NOT JUST TRY TO DEFEND OUR CHURCH.. be open-minded with the Bible open with the help of the Holy Spirit.. ok? i also want to accept corrections.. but please also don’t just say “Its ok, if you see there’s something wrong” Thank you everyone.. I love you my brothers and sisters that’s why i’m saying this to you..
When God made the world and everything in it, including men and women, he declared it to be “good.” So the created, material world is good, because God declared it to be so. Even though Adam and Eve brought death into the world through sin, that does not change the fact that God CHOSE to create a physical, material world filled with physical, material beings.
God had so much love and respect for this world he created, and the flesh-and-blood beings who inhabit it, that His only Son TOOK ON FLESH and DWELT AMONG US, that we might be saved.
When Jesus was here on Earth, not only did He preach to us about things we cannot see (God, heaven, angels, etc.) but he often made use of the physical world and our five senses in order to help us understand spiritual realities. For instance, when Jesus healed the blind man, he made a paste of mud and spittle and put it on the man’s eyes, and then told him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam, and the main regained his sight. Had he wanted to, Jesus certainly could have simply said to the man, “Be healed,” and he man would have been healed. But Jesus understood that it is good for flesh-and-blood beings to have a physical sign of a spiritual reality, in order to help us believe. The culmination of this practice by Jesus is, of course, the Eucharist, in which Jesus CHOOSES to become present–body, blood, soul and divinity–in what appears to our senses to be bread. Ours is an incarnational faith.
Therefore, I do not believe images of the saints, or even images of Jesus–no matter how imperfect they may be in comparison to His true glory–are offensive to God. Indeed, they help us–poor, lowly physical beings that we are–to raise our minds to higher things and keep God always in our hearts and minds. (After all, “out of sight, out of mind” is a well-used phrase for a reason: it’s true. We tend to forget about that which we do not see before us on a regular basis.)
Statues, crucifixes and images of the saints serve as holy reminders of spiritual realities that we can hardly comprehend in this life. But they are a great help to us in our jouney of faith, and we would be poorer souls without them.
Mother Mary is the Mother of all mankind. At the foot of the cross on that day, there stood St. John, the beloved disciple of Jesus. Jesus turned to him and said ‘Behold, your mother’ and to His Mother ‘Behold your son’.
Whoever loves Jesus, whoever is beloved to Him and stands steadfast in faith becomes fortunate to be blessed with the gift of God – Mother Mary, who is full of grace, and the Holy Spirit. Remember, Jesus once talked of being born again?
See how a child is born. No doubt, through mother. I claim that I am a child of God. It is my right and at the same time my duty to born again. How can I born again if I forget and deny the motherhood of Mary? The last words of Jesus on the Cross is worthy to be remembered always, by every Christian. Jesus gives us the inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven through these words.
And those words are full of promise and a man of wisdom can find the depth of love God has for mankind.
The story behind this beautiful picture, which has been around for several years by the way, (the picture that is)seems a bit removed from facts. I have no problem with the picture, but the facts behind it.
First of all, When Pope John Paul II was shot at St. Peter’s square, he was in his Popemobile. In the videos of the incident of his shooting, he was in the popemobile surrounded by men. There was no woman who came to his aid…nor did the pope fall to the ground as the story suggests. He collapsed into the arms of his secretary (a priest) and then the popemobile sped away to the hosptial.
While a photo of the pope just after being shot and before he collapsed, could, when developed reveal a “miracle” image of Our Lady holding/embracing John Paul II…I just question the story explaining how it came about. I say “could” because as we all know, nothing is impossible with God.
No he is in Hell. And so would you of you follow him. Watch 23 hours dead. Really Mary? So what God isn’t good enuf for you people? What’s wrong with you ? Mary is just a women, that’s it just a regular women! John Paul II never spoke the whole truth! he acted as if he was God. He stole money from the church. And wasted money on expensive cloths and houses. Stop idolizing Mary and don’t give excuses saying it’s for respect you people clearly bow down to her read exodus. It clears says not to bow down to anything in the likes of heaven or earth. Mary is in heaven.
Satan is clearly working in the catholic church. Be Christian.
hey! beloveds sisters and brothers in christ, i am new to this site but it is worth to see what you learn from here. i rarely see a person exploring how stupid or ignorant he is, but most people think that they know much about what they dont know. let me tell you one thing, the bible has gone through the hands of the holy church, the “roman catholic church” for centuries. and mind you guys the book was not a single one as per se, its a collection of holy writings sorted through the hands of people under the divine mercy of God. i have read all the comments above and i think some of us think that the bible was handed over to the saints as it is. the catholic faith is in that accord, aware of what God needs his church to teach. we are not allowed to call anyone father, ask you? why call your biological father “a father”? enlightment in the faith needs Jesus assistance. get that men of God. Be blessed…..
holy Mary pray for those who deny your role in salvation. amen!
First: Anything is possible with God.
Second: Catholics do NOT worship the BVM, they identify with her sacrifice, obedience, and passion that she endured when her Son, our Lord Jesus the Christ was tortured, condemned and Crucufied. To Worhip anyone or anything besides the Holy Trinity is heresy and a mortal sin.
Lastly: There is NO INTERCESSION between God and Man except the Lord Jesus!
Mary has NOTHING to do with our Salvation which was a free gift from God the Father to restore us through Him by the perfect sacrifice for our sins, and that was the freely given only begotten Son , Jesus. Mary was the spotless vessel to hold and nurture the Messiah, and was the Mother of Jesus, who is GOD. So…I hope that the Church and other readers would realize the Marion Theology is not required of Catholics to get them into heaven, but rather the Belief of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ, and our confession of our sins, and accepting the forgiveness for our sins by the shedding of the most Precious Blood Of Christ. God Bless you in the Name of Jesus the Christ, our Brother, and Saviour.
amma mathave ante kudeyum eppoyum undavane
There seems to be confusion over many things.
I remind all that our God is NOT a God of Confusion, but of a Sound Mind! Satan, the adversary of all who believe in Jesus the Christ, our Lord, loves to cause doubt, confusion, and division!
Many doctrines of the Church are misconstrued as being the Word of God; traditions in the Church are misunderstood, and many things are questionable throughout Church history. However, there is only ONE WAY TO HEAVEN and that is through Jesus, the Christ, the Saviour, Son of God, Son of Man! NO other intercessor is needed between God and Man but Christ, Jesus! Not my words, but it is in the Gospel, which is the WORD of GOD.
Both Old Testament in Joel, and the New Testament in all the Gospels tell us that:
“WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.” That name is JESUS!
Don’t let your heart’s be troubled, have Faith in God and have Faith in Me (Jesus’ Word in the Gospel of John 14:1).
Please allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your hearts, and guide you as you read the Sacred Scriptures, then you will have the Peace that surpasses ALL Understanding, in the Name of Jesus! Amen!
May all who read this, and read the Word, be Blessed in the Name of Christ, Jesus!
I like the art; it’s all spiritual and stuff,, I think arguing about signs just shows how immature you are in your spiritual walk. I doubt God would feel insecure about you failing to believe in his existance or have to resort to sending Mary on errands to get people’s attention. The whole vibe about Catholics worhipping Mary is exhausting. Stop yapping and just read your Bible. We are in the end times and I’m pretty sure Mary isn’t gonna get you through the Pearly gates.
Once again, I remind everyone that Satan is a Liar, and he is the influence that causes confusion, arguments, disention, heresy,etc., anything that is not LOVE, and LIFE!
Not one of us is worthy of the GRACE of GOD, but we are made worthy by the shed Blood of Christ, and that was out of LOVE.
Let us LOVE ONE ANOTHER, Look at everything you see, including this post, through the eyes of Perfect Love! If we look through our eyes in the spirit of Love, then we shall see everything as Jesus sees: NO CONDEMNATION, just LOVE.
God Bless you all through our Lord Jesus Christ by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Let us all read the Word of God.. it is the light, it is the truth.. anything out from it is all LIE.. Read it with a prayer so that your wisdom and knowledge will come from the Holy Spirit.. Glory to God in Jesus’ name..
Mothermary is chosen by GOD to become mother of Jesus, which itself is a great grace.
She was with Jesus from beginning to end.
she offered her son willingly to die on the cross for you n me. she suffered all the pain by seeing her son tortured n facing a cruel death.
Its unfortunate that Today many christians dont even respect her.
Mary played a great for the salvation of mankind.she obeyed the word of GOD.
This is the ultimate truth – believe it or not.
Hi All,
Bible says Mary was blessed among all women. Why? Because God knew she was the apt vessel that can bring forth His Son and hence, she got the opportunity to give birth to Jesus. She is to be respected as a good and God-fearing woman.
But does Bible teach us that Mary is the mediator between God and us and she intercedes on behalf of us? It does not. Therefore, let us not consider her as our mediator and let us not pray to her. But let us follow her example.
Bible teaches that there is ‘only one’ mediator between God and men and that is the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim 2:5). He is currently playing the role of an High Priest in the heavenly places and is interceding for us. (Heb 4:14-16).
If anybody needs guidance in understanding the Truth as believed and taught by the early Apostles, may call me at 08951077782. I can speak a little Malayalam and Hindi as well. Just so that all are aware that I myself cannot give any revelation but can only explain with the scriptures. It’s the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, that will reveal all things to you.
Understand why the world is witnessing miracles. I am this Mary that is praying for the ones you are seeing. No, I am not mentally ill either. I am the prophecy. I have suffered greatly. When the statues cried tears of blood, God was showing you proof of a horrible head wound Satanists had inflicted upon me. When you saw my face in the cheese sandwich miracle on EBAY, I was sure God heard my prayer to give me a sign I would live to be an adult. I pray for miracles. So deal with it.
I love Mother Mary. Our Holy mother..She is the Most Precious Gift that our Lord Gave us. I surely believe that our Dearest Pope John Paul survived the attack because of the powerful intercession of our Beloved Mother. But the Picture circulated, which is claimed as a real one is an hoax. I am sure.
it is really very appalling when certain people make some very “lousy” comments. How can someone who claims to be a catholic for 35 years say that ‘catholics are not christians, they are catholics”? She goes on to say that the word “catholic” was never mentioned in the bible, just “christians”. I just cannot believe that someone (who claimed to have been born a catholic) could be so ignorant. The word “catholic” simply means ‘universal”… the universal church, the ONE church. You should have known that simple fact from your basic catholic cathecism! i would say that you should be careful what you say on a site like this so that you don’t look stupid.
