Something About La Madonna - Totus2us

Patricia, from Ghana - "As I see it, Our Lady came into my life and totally changed me. And also she taught me to love, to love and accept being loved. I think sometimes we forget that we need love, and she loves us so much. Allowing her to love us, you know, and to bring us to Jesus. And that is her main aim - to bring people to her Son. And I just see her as somebody who shows you how to love her Son and to draw you out of whatever confinement you find yourself in, she draws you out and brings you to Jesus. She is a mother, and that is what we really need to know - that she is our mother." Music by Jesús Cabello. Visit Totus2us.com for more.

Fr Michael, from London - "Mary, she is the Queen and our Mother; always guiding us, always near us, always at the foot of the Cross, always at the foot of the altar... Newman wrote these very, very beautiful words which I think we should share: This is why the Blessed Virgin is called powerful, nay, sometimes all powerful, because she has more than anyone else, more than all the angels and saints, this great pervading gift of prayer. No-one has access to the Almighty as His mother has, none has merit such as hers. Her Son will deny her nothing that she asks and herein lies her power. While she defends the Church, neither height nor depth, neither men nor evil spirits, neither great monarchs, nor craft of man, nor popular violence can avail to harm us. For human life is short but Mary reigns above as Queen for ever." Music by Jesús Cabello. Visit Totus2us.com for more. Totus Tuus ('All Yours') was Pope John Paul II's motto to Mary.

Lauren, from the US - "I read St Louis de Montford's book 'True Devotion to Mary' and realised that Mary is such a strong role model for women today and I really look to Mary as one of the greatest intercessors we have as Catholics. She is just so beautiful. As a young adult I find it difficult to watch the media and see women portrayed as just objects and seeing young girls looking up to these models and actresses who are not great role models. And yet we have this beautiful image of Mary, who just is such a wonderful, wonderful person who we can pray to and we can look at her life and see her sacrifice and her ability to say yes to God, which was so amazing. We are just so blessed to have Mary." Music by Jesús Cabello. Visit Totus2us.com for more. Totus Tuus ('All Yours') was Pope John Paul II's motto to Mary.

Steven, from the US - "I know that what I experienced was the divine love of the Blessed Mother and that the feelings I felt that day were just a drop of what was part of a larger river but that drop was enough to transcend all the joy and peace I had ever felt in my life and in a moment I knew what my heart had been created for. As I unpacked what happened over the following weeks I realised nothing I had been pursuing mattered in comparison to what heaven had to offer me. I feel like God gave me a second chance at life through the intercession of the Blessed Mother. I am indebted to this day for what God has continued to do and how Him and His Mother have continued to lead me to where I am now .. where my goal was once to become a Hollywood director, now it is to become a saint."

Magdalene, from China - "Mary has always served as a role model to be a woman for me but I only realised how moving the way she loved when I started to pray to her more often.

When we realise how humane and tenderly she loves Jesus and she loves us, then we would realise that we are all called to do the same." Music by Jesús Cabello. Visit Totus2us.com for more.

Heidi, from the US - "The Blessed Mother, to me as a mother, is such an inspiration because having put her faith in God in the way she did, to be able to accept the fact that Jesus would have to die on the Cross and die for all of our sins and stand by and watch this and allow this to happen gives me such great inspiration as a mother with my child. To put faith in God and to know that no matter what trials come our way, you just have to put your faith in God and let Him lead the way and guide you. Even though it might not work out the way you intend, there is a reason for it and Mary helps me to see that every single day in all that I do.
