SingaporeMacross SG August 22: Memorial of the the Queenship of Mary O Mother of God, today thou art carried into heaven on the chariots of the cherubim, the seraphim wait upon thee and the ranks of the heavenly army bow before thee. The Church celebrates a memorial in honor of the Queenship of Mary. This memorial is placed an octave, that is, eight days after celebrating Mary's Assumption into Heaven. Christ is our King, and the Lord of Lords. The Church recognises Mary as Queen, because She is the Mother of Christ. http://www.udayton.edu/mary/questions/yq/yq62.html http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_11101954_ad-caeli-reginam_en.html

Blessed Be, Oceanos[/b]The Church does not proclaim Her as Goddess. I must admit that it's kind of ironic that the Muslims and the Pagans respect the Blessed Lady more than many Christians.
OCEANOS SG Merry Meet Brother Macross, Well these are just additional informations for sharing with various perspectives of Our Lady Mary... Only for those interested to know more. Blessed Be, Oceanos
ben1xy SG a lot of Hindus ended up converting through MAry. In the last RCIA batch at my church there were 2-3 converts. they started praying at the grotto... but slowly got to know the people there.. then they attended RCIA Mary our Mother is always gentle in her ways
laurence82 SG Strangely, I had one Indian form teacher, we all like him, who was both a believer in Mary and is a Hindu. We all blur blur about religions when young, but what he told us is that he knew people would object, coz you can be half-half in that sense.
ben1xy SG slightly bigger than an A4 size picture. i think the name of the image is called 'Lady of Perpetual Help' right?
ben1xy SG i spoke to 1 Hindu, he told me that it might be the case but then again, its only one... not representative of the overall view
munyc SG Our Mother of Perpetual Help (OMPH). Yeah, I like this picture as well, every aspect of this icon means something as our Blessed Mother being always available for intercession. We have a weekly Novena for OMPH here in the Cathedral in Penang, every Saturday before Sunset Mass.
