"Mary, Did You Know?"

[105lynne]

My local radio station is playing all Christmas music and today I heard “Mary, Did You Know?” First of all, I love this song! Secondly, I don’t understand how any Protestant (mothers, in particular) can listen to this song and still reject Our Lady. What a precious bonus God gave us! Jesus was/is our gift and Our Lady is an added bonus. What a life She must have had with Her Son!! There’s no love like that of a mother toward her child. No one knew, understood or loved Jesus more than She did, and no one ever will! What an amazing example we have in Her! Just wanted to see if anyone else was ever touched by this song or if it made you view Her in a different light…

Here’s a link the hear the song

Hi Sweet Friend,

I play that song even when it’s not Christmas. There is a friend of mine who has a talent for Art and has a business on the net…does very well. She has many talents and for her friends she sent an audio of her singing “Mary Did you know”. Her voice is beautiful! I had no idea. When I heard her sing the first time, I cried. And thereafter. Her name and I don’t think she would mind me saying it since she is public is Myka Jelina. Google her and you will see her work. Beautiful. And I hope I’m not advertising or spamming. She’s my friend.

Yes, I love the song and sing a long. Yet, my voice is well…lol

Protestants from what I know would be taking worship off of God if they gave Mother Mary worship. But, I feel a Protestant could answer better than me.

Love ya’ll,
Sheila

Great song

I don’t believe that our non-Catholic brothers and sisters “reject our Lady”… They mistakenly believe that Catholics worship Mary and believe She is a Goddess. Most of them that I’ve spoken with have tremendous respect and admiration for Mary and the example She set. They just worry that we might be crossing the line and giving to Mary that which belongs to God alone. And if you listen to some of our prayers as an outsider would hear them it’s an understandable mistake. Hail Holy Queen must sound very much like we’re WAY over the line to someone that doesn’t understand.

Catholics have a very complex relationship with our Blessed Mother and I believe She would expect us to have an understanding heart for the confused brethren that worry about our eternal souls. After all, She’s their Mother too

God bless

I love this song too! One of my favorite things about it is that the answer to the question is, “Yes!” As an observant Jew, it’s safe to say that Mary knew what was going to happen to the baby she bore.

I heard a wonderful talk about this once from Lighthouse Catholic Media. I wish I could remember what it was called.
