Hi, guys —

  • As a recent convert to the Church, how can I become closer to Mary?

Mike replied:

Hi, Rich —

First, welcome to the Church. Your presence makes us a stronger Church.

The best way I know to become closer to Mary is to pray the Rosary and get enrolled in the Brown Scapular. You can Google for free Rosaries and Brown Scapulars:

Here are some MS Word and PDF documents that you can use with them.

Also ask Our Blessed Lord, Himself, to guide you to a proper devotion to His and our spiritual mother. For those having a hard time honoring our Blessed Mother, say the following prayer:

Lord, if it is your desire and will that your mother become an important part of my growth in holiness as a Christian, then please make a way and a time to introduce me to her and grant me the grace to be responsive to all she has to offer me.

Amen.

Hope this helps!

Mike
