It is one of the most widely used prayers in the Catholic world. The Hail Mary prayer is one of the ways that Catholic’s ask for Mary’s help. When we ask Mary to pray for us we are asking our spiritual mother, given to us by Jesus, to help us in whatever issue we are dealing with, to bring God’s grace to us. At the Wedding of Cana, she asked Jesus to perform his first miracle – something he was not intending to do but did because she asked him to do it. Some people have knowledge of The Source that we do not have or they have a better way to obtain this water (Goodness, Grace etc). Like going to a well to draw water, we are expected to get water (Goodness) from the source. Anyone can easily approach their mother and ask for her prayer and intercession or help with some issue they are dealing with.
A Christian mother is one who prays for her children and our Blessed Mother Mary does that for us if we ask for it. As he was dying on the cross Jesus looked at his disciple John and told him, regarding Mother Mary, “Behold, your mother.” He looked at Mary and said to her of John (representing all Christians ) “Behold your son”. Among the many gifts to mankind given to us by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, Mary given to us as a spiritual mother is one of them.
