Bio: Mary grew up as a normal girl, she lived in a small, rural, and Jewish area and was the daughter of St. Anne and St. Joachim who was a shepherd and was married off at 13 (normal at the time), then one day she received a message from Gabriel, she will be the mother of the living God. She then gave birth to Jesus in a stable and because King Herod wanted to kill and male under 2, she and the rest of her family fled to Egypt which was a 700 miles away from her home (over 11 days of non-stop walking) and lived there for 3 to 4 years until King Herod died. Mary is the most mentioned woman of all the Gospels and the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran, the person who pushed Jesus into his first miracle, watched her own son bear suffering and not let a word of resistance leave her mouth, and the only person to go into Heaven without dying first. Mary still appears today to people such as Lucia dos Santos, Francisco Marto, and Jacinta Marto in 1917 as The Lady of Fatima or Sister Agnes Sasagawa who watched a statue of Mary weep 101 human tears and bled B blood-type in 1973 in Akita, Japan as Our Lady of Akita, she also is known to intercede with multiple ordinary people on the day-today when help is needed.

Mary, Our Mother, Pray for Us!
