Does one have to chose which Mary to be devoted to?

[GF_Girl]

My grandmother says that as a Mexican I should be devoted to the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, after all I have her to thank for my Catholicism. However, I feel a very strong pull towards Our Lady of Fatima. Do I have to chose which apparition of Mary to be devoted to? Confused.

You have no obligation to devote yourself to any *apparition * or private revelations of Our Lady. None of us do.

Our Lady has many titles; you are free to devote yourself to all of these, if you like (and if you have the time!).

Keep in mind that Our Lady of Guadalupe and Our Lady of Fatima are the same person.

Our Lady said this to St. Bridget: “Daughter, if you wish to bind me to you, love my Son."

God bless.

There’s only one Mary.
Talk to her as you wish.

Peace.

I think you’ve gotten good advice here. Devote yourself to the Mary you feel closest to.

Thank you everyone for your answers! This is what I was thinking, but my grandmother would tell me it is almost an obligation to be closest to The Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. Thank yo I for giving me an objective point of view!
