Mary always leads ppl to Jesus through faith and penance.

God works in mysterious ways. God gave Jesus to Mary to care and comfort, to teach and guide. Jesus ws given a mother so He would know true love and a mothers touch - there is nothing stronger than a mothers bond with her Child. most people love their mothers and listen to them, love them and every child, woman, man, grown up - when they are sick "want their mommy". i believe God allows Mary to act in lieu of a mother. God has usedd Mary to bring us our Salvation before - why not again. if Christ were to come to this earth - it would be the end. usually your mom will give you a second chance before you get the "wait till your father gets home speech". while i would love to see Jesus in His second coming, I'd also rather not becuase i would like more people to come to know Him.

The mother of Jesus was no doubt blessed when she bore Jesus but needed a savior as we all do.She is dead now and possibly in Abraham's bosom were there is a great gulf between us and her.Jesus is the only mediator between God and man.Have you heard the story in the Bible that says there will be those saying how they done so many mighty works and then Jesus says depart from me I never knew you.Start praying to Jesus and I am sure Mary would agree that He would be able to do more than her or she would have turned the water into wine instead of asking her Son to.

I highly question whether the Catholic church would affirm those numbers.
Satan will use anything to get your focus off of the Gospel message. and why do you think that you can say that the apparitions are the mother of Jesus? Who ever said that those apparitions were the virgin mary?? People say that, but they appear in different manners and forms in different countries. Black in Africa, Chinese in China ect.. Mary was a Jew and can not be all of those apparitions.
Intercession of or to, apparitions are not running around praying for people.. Esp when they appear on a window or in a plate of food.
This is satanic work..

Because she is acting as a mother would. What mother would not love and care for her child?She is our spiritual mother and we her children.

Prove that's how they're healed and I may answer you.
Look up how many people in "undeveloped" countries die from curses, also.
The mind is a powerful thing.

because God answers your prayer when a lot of people pray for you and that is all Mary is doing, praying for you.

I don't know of anyone. But I'm not Catholic and if that's what you believe, then that's between you and God.
