This is from J. Dominguez, M.D. a great friend of Conchita. He has passed on for his great reward in Heaven! May he rest in peace! Try Her!... do you have an important, impossible problem?... Try Her, even if you are not a Christian  1- The Mother of God... the Prophecy of the Bible about Mary 3- The Immaculate Conception... every child looks like his mother! 4- The Assumption... The Queen of Heaven, of Earth, and of your Heart. 6- Mary: Co-redeemer, Mediator, Advocate... the work of the Queen in her Reign. The Catholic Church has proclaimed five Dogmas about Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ: 1- Mary Mother of God, 431. 2- Mary always Virgin, before the birth of Jesus, during the birth, and after the birth of Jesus, 649. 3- Mary Immaculate: On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX issued the bull Ineffabilis Deus, which proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, "preserved free from all guilt of original sin". 4- The Assumption of Mary, on November 1, 1950, when Pope Pius XII stated that Mary was "taken up body and soul into heaven," and "exalted as Queen of the Universe." 5- A fifth dogma is "Mother of the Church", proclaimed by Paul VI, Second Vatican Council, Nov. 21, 1964 6- Lately, the Pope is being urged to proclaim Mary with another three titles, with three dogmas: - The Co-redeemer or Co-redemptrix, - The Mediatrix, or Mediator of all graces, - The Advocate for the people of God, Intercessor, Helper, Benefactress. The Maternal Mediation of Mary is under its three essential aspects of Co-Redeemer ("the Mother Suffering"), Mediator("the Mother Nourishing"), and Advocate ("the Mother Interceding")... so, these tree dogmas are interrelated and may be it is only one, because the roles of a mother, as heart of the family, are multiform but the truth of her motherhood is singular, only one!. This last triple dogma would be the climax of the Age of Mary, and like all dogmas is right now highly debated within the Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox. In fact, the reason of any dogma proclaimed by the Church is to clarify and assert the truth on any important biblical issue when it is being debated with controversies among the faithful... this was the case of the declaration by the Church of the dogmas of the Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus, the Divinity of the Person of the Holy Spirit... all the dogmas declared were under high controversy at the time of their proclamation!. Once the dogma is pronounced, all the doubts end, at least for the faithful of the Catholic Church... but the proclamation of these last three dogmas may create a schism even within the Catholic Church, and ecumenical problems, which has also been the case of the proclamation of any dogma in the history of the Church, praise the Lord!... but the truth always prevail, and it is the best weapon to fight schisms and to advance ecumenism. By the way, the first four Marian dogmas relate organically to the others: Try Her!:Because she is Theotokos, Mother of God, it is fitting that she be perpetually virgin... ... because she was preserved from original sin, it is fitting that she be preserved from the final effects of sin, namely, the decay of the body... ... Vox Populi proposes that the dogma of Co-redeemer, Mediator and Advocate would be a continuation of the Dogma Mother of the Church, answering the questions, What is she doing in heaven, body and soul? If she is Queen of Heaven and Earth, how does she exercise her reign? As far as I am concerned, I have no problems, because I have got the most beautiful dreams through my Blessed Mother: I had an impossible wish in my School, and someone told me, if I ask anything to Virgin Mary, I will have it... I didn't believe it, but it cost me nothing, so, I prayed three Hail Marys every night for that dream... and I got it!... the number one in my class, though I was a mediocre student!... After that, I believed it!... and I finished my studies of Medicine and Surgery with the highest marks in my class... not because I am smart... you know how!. I had another dream: A house on the waterfront... I prayed my 3 Hail Marys... and you got it!... in three months I had a house not just in the waterfront, but "in" the water, and very cheap!, and I keep it for 35 years... half of our home is built on five large pillars at Pelham Bay, in New York, the basement of that part of the House is the ocean!. I wanted to have a Christian program on the Radio, I prayed my 3 Hail Marys... and I had it in one month, and then another one, and then one daily and three other weekly... and then on T.V., already for 30 years... now on the Internet!, while I still keep up with my Radio and TV programs... I don't want to bore you with more testimonies... but the Mother of Jesus is "your Mother", know it or not, believe it or not... Try Her!... In the wedding at Cana, they had "no wine"... and Jesus didn't care, because his time to make miracles had not yet come, as Jesus told his Mother, "my hour has not yet come" (Jn.2:4)... If only Jesus would have been at that wedding, they would have had no wine... but they got the needed wine!... and with a miracle of Jesus!, the first!, though his time had not yet come... I believe it is the only place in the Bible where the "Plan of God" has been changed... because of the love of your Mother!... please, read Life of Jesus Christ in Us. Just try Her: If you have an impossible dream, or a very difficult problem, pray 3 Hail Marys every night... and you will see wonders in your life... Prayers to Mary, the Blessed Mother If you are not a Christian, try Her!, she is your mother!, believe it or not... you don't have to renounce to anything, nor to believe in anything... the first time I tried Her I didn't believe it... it costs you nothing!... so, just try Her... and I guarantee it!... you will see wonders in your life!... let me know!. A Warning: The boat of Mary only leads to the shores of the Church of Her Son Jesus. I started with my three Hail Marys, then I started to pray a Rosary daily, then to Mass every day, work in the Catholic Action, in the Cursillos in Christianity, in the Legion of Mary, in the Charismatic Renewal... then I published 100 Christian books and booklets... my Mother has lead me all my life, and always to live more fully in the Church of Her Son Jesus the Messiah, the Christ, praise the Lord. Thank you Mother Mary, thank you my God and Savior Jesus. J. Dominguez, M.D. |
