Maria Francisca     

_{"The love that I have for my mother is nothing compared to the love that I have for Mother Mary. She has been my source of inspiration, she still is and she still will be.

She hasn't forsaken me and I will love her till I breathe my last."}

Sister Marlene

_{Sister Marlene, after giving her something about Mary in English, sings Ave Maria in Malayalam.}

Father Mathew      

_{"Our Lady is a wonderful example of someone who obeyed God's will wholeheartedly and said yes to God in everything she did because she had a great love for God and everything about God. Today I take great courage from the example of my mother and my queen, and she is a person I love so much and she is truly my mother and my heavenly intercessor. I'm grateful to God for that gift."}

_{Father Mathew is now a priest of Clifton diocese in the UK, currently (2017) in Salisbury parish.}

Oswald      

_{"Personally I experience Mary's protection during the ordinary events of my life and I long to pray the rosary, alone or with my fellow brothers and sisters, in order to reach heaven."}

Pankaj      

_{"I'm Indian, I'm a Hindu, but I've had a good experience with Mary because I believe she helps those people nobody will help. She also can get to Jesus faster than anybody because he is the son.  I did tell her in fact that my wife is having a cough problem so help her please. So she must have gone to Jesus and said to him 'These people need help and you're not helping. I'm your mother, I'm directing you to help his wife.' Jesus helped because she believes in her son as well and she knows. No words can describe what I think of her because she is the Mother of God. ... I wish all the people: believe in her from your heart, not pretending, and it will happen. Mountains can be moved with belief."}

Pauline      

_{"I love Our Lady very much. She is my queen and my mother."}

Peter      

_{"Mary has always been the mother who had a very informal, very unnoticed, simple role in her life but that role made her the most important influence in the life of Jesus. I see her as someone whom we can approach, who's simple, who's there to support and guide without being like a teacher or being someone forceful, someone whom we can always approach when we really need her."}

Prabel      

_{"Through Mary it is a great step to go near to Jesus because she is next to Jesus, she is always near to Jesus, and she can help us to be with Jesus."}

Sister Prisena      

_{"Throughout our life we experience our Mother’s help and our Patron, Saint Charles Borromeo, who is there close to us, helping us in our daily life."}

Pushpa      

_{"It's very difficult to say something about the Mother of the Son of God, as he is known ... My cough is 70% down because of her .. She has blessed us, she has helped me .. We went to Lourdes and I had a dip in the water.  It is very difficult to describe the feeling I had. Wonderful, not describable!"}

Richard       

_{"Mother Mary, you are always helping us. Please help, Mother Mary. I give you thanks, I give you praise. I thank you, praise you all the time, all the day. Thank you, Mother Mary."}

Rohit      

_{"Mother Mary is a mother to me. She is a messenger who delivers all our prayers to Jesus. She is a rock when people are in difficulty. She helps through the rosary and delivers all our prayers to Jesus."}

Sophia      

_{"I love Mother Mary and Mother Mary is my mother. I’m so devoted to her and in all my need I feel her presence always with me. The rosary is my weapon. One Hail Mary is a nuclear bomb against the devil. So I love Mother Mary and I love the rosary and I promote the devotion to Mother Mary. Ave Maria!"}

Sunil      

_{"Mary is somebody who is a mother to all. To me she’s a mother as well, a mother that I can depend on, pray to and somebody who I can relate to."}

_{"From my childhood, my parents taught me to recite the rosary. It’s a special protection for us every time, we feel it when we recite the rosary.

Wendy      

_{"Our Lady is my protector, she’s always there for me."}

Father Wilfred OCD       

_{"There among the poor I was strengthened in my vocation. Somehow they provided me with a vision for my life. I knew as a priest I was called to love and to serve after the example of Christ. In 1997 I was ordained a priest in India and thereafter was sent to Tanzania as a missionary. Since then I have been a part of our mission in Tanzania, making of my life, to use the words of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, something beautiful for God in loving and serving others in little and insignificant ways. There is nothing extraordinary in the way I received my call to the priesthood. It was all a natural process as if everything was planned. The people I encountered, the events that took place all helped me to reach where I wanted to be, or better, where I had to be. Life has not been a bed of roses, sailing was tough at times and still is. But the Lord has been gracious and was there to support me in ways unknown to me at those difficult times. Now when I look back I know that He was there and that gives me the assurance that He will be there throughout and I confidently sing with the psalmist 'The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.'"}

Zenon      

_{"Mother Mary, she’s our helper and she’ll listen to everything that we’re saying or praying. If you ask her, she gives you it. And everything I ask her, she helps me and she filled my dream."}
