Does Mary have a particular form in Heaven?

[Colorad007]

I know that, in glorified form, the human body is sort of outside of the bounds of our earthly, temporal way of life. So that brought about this question about Our Lady. In the book Diiary of a County Priest, there is a moment when a priest advises something to the effect of “Mary is not only your mother, but also your daughter.” I have no idea what is meant by that, but it’s always intrigued me. If we can devote ourselves to Christ as a tiny baby, then can we pray to Mary as a young girl–or, I should say, in Heaven is she a young girl, as well as the more maternal figure we usually think of?

Further, does she look like Our Lady of Guadalupe and also Our Lady of Lourdes, at the same time? In other words, does the form and look of Our Lady of Guadalupe actually exist like that in Heaven right now?

Since Mary is a creature, she is a daughter of God, just as we are all sons or daughters of God. She is also Jesus’ mother, and since Jesus is God, she is also the Mother of God. That is probably what is meant in the book you read. When I picture her, I see a woman in her late teens to early 20’s, but there is no reason not to picture her as older or younger. I imagine she would look like however she chooses to look. We know she was Middle Eastern Jewish, but in her apparitions she has chosen to appear as European, Native American, Asian, African, and other races. So her form might fluctuate, or it might not. Hopefully, we will all know when we get there.

Since She was assumed into Heaven, doesn’t she look just as she did at the moment of her Assumption? So She’d look like a Middle Eastern Jewish woman of a certain age

I would imagine that our pneumatikon soma, having been reshaped for Life Everlasting, will look only generally like the standard-issue “human body” we know and love. Think our LORD’s Transfiguration. Head, hands, feet, neck, shoulders, etc, but luminousness instead of clothing, etc.

But we see with our minds more than with our eyes, so when we see our LORD or the BVM, we will see according to our expectations. Like memory in reverse. IMNAAHO.

Although we may be present in our glorified bodies in heaven, it may also be that we actually see the other’s soul. And that will be most beautiful in the case of Mary.

It is in fact both!

The soul is the life in your body.

In the natural body, we do not see the life, because it is hidden under clothing and dried layers of skin. We can only see the life in someone’s eyes. That is why the eyes are the “windows of the soul.”

In one’s pneumatikon soma, the life (soul) will rise to the surface of the skin, because there will be no need for protective layers. You won’t see soul instead of body; you will see soul filling the body!

Yeah but since Mary is the Mother of Mercy and has heavenly powers, she can change her appearance at will. When she appears to people, she usually changes her appearance to suit the race of whom she is appearing to just to be more intimate and friendly with him. Guadalupe is an example of this as Mary there looks like an obvious Latina and we’ve been depicting Mary as either a white woman or a black Madonna or even Asian for 500 billion years. It’s not racist, it’s just a simple form of expressing love towards her. Just look at all this:

Again, it’s not racist, it’s a way to show confidence and intimacy with Mary.

Mary’s PHYSICAL body is in Heaven and is now a glorified body.

In Heaven the only people that have bodies are Jesus and Mary.

I don’t know if Enoch, Elijah, or Melchizidech are in heaven with bodies?

Everyone else in heaven–all the rest of the saints are there in their spirits and souls but they won’t receive their glorified bodies until the last day when all are raised.
