Sister Desiree of Jesus ocd       ♦

_{"Mary to me is a very intimate friend and everything to me, because I feel that I am very close to her whenever I have any difficulties and I always ask her for help, and she seems always to be there for me."}

_{Sister Desiree of Jesus is in the Carmel at Notting Hill in London.}

Hilary       ♦

_{"Mother Mary is a very special person in my life, particularly a mother. To me she is a special guide, she's a perfect example of what all Christians should be, a first disciple, and I pray that all of us as Catholics, as Christians, will be able to say yes to God's call when He does call, just like Our Lady."}

Jessica       ♦

_{"I think the thing about Our Lady that I really hold quite important to me is her sacrifice and how she willingly gave up her life to do God's will; and if only I could do the same. And so I feel that's something quite close to my heart."}

Joshua       

_{"What I love most about Our Lady is that I'm really close to my mum and Our Lady is also my mum. Being away from family, I turn to Our Lady the most as she's the closest connection with home. I also remember my grandmother had a strong devotion to Our Lady, so whenever I have any trouble I always turn to Our Lady and I pray and she has been my mother here."       ♦}

_{"Christmas is a time of giving and gratitude to me. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the materialism of it, buying enough, trying to chase after the deals. But most important of all, Christmas is about hope. And sometimes when I think of how our Saviour was born into the world, I would like him to be born into our hearts and that he would give us hope, hope that there's a new world is awaiting with him."      ♦}

Margaret       ♦

_{"I am a real, real lover of Our Lady because without her I don't think I would have been brought to the feet of her Son, and that means so much to me."}

May       ♦

_{"For me, Mother Mary is a source of hope, a guiding light. I can relate to her. I speak to her every day - when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I have troubles. I know she can hear me and she is always there to help me and to love me. I believe she is a huge part of my life and I am very grateful for her being there for me always."}

Morgan Maria       ♦

_{"I didn't go to church for many years. I only recently returned, very gradually. I think it all started when Pope John Paul II died and somehow I got very involved and I needed to go to church to pray ... Now I say the rosary, I am very devoted to it. It has helped me a great deal. .. There is much more to go yet I know but I am asking Mother Mary to be there always with me to help me. Yes, I am very devoted - I love her, as I love Jesus."}

Rema       ♦

_{"I think what Mary means to me is obviously a mother figure and someone who brought Jesus into this world, but not only that but brought life."}

Sandra       ♦

_{"Mary is like a mother and an example for me and everything that I can only hope to be and strive for in life."}

Sheryl       ♦

_{"What I love about Our Lady is that she is like a mother to me and, just like how my mother is, she shows care and love to her children."}
