I am deeply devoted to our Blessed Mother. When (and if) I ever make it to heaven, will I be able to give Mary a hug? Will physical touching (such as an embrace) be allowed?
What kind of a mother doesn’t want hugs from her children? If ordinary loving mothers want hugs, how much more will our heavenly Mother want us to hug her? Of course, we won’t have our bodies back until after the resurrection of the dead, so physical contact likely will have to wait until then.
