✍🏾Intercession as a Gift from God
The ability to intercede is itself a divine gift.
God chose and appointed His saints as intercessors for humanity.
This is shown in His words to Abimelech concerning Abraham:
“Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live.”(Genesis 20:7)
Thus, the saints are instruments of God’s mercy, and through their prayers, we receive grace and forgiveness.
✍🏾 The Intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary
Among all the saints, the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary holds a unique and exalted place.
She is the Mother of God (Theotokos), full of grace, chosen before all ages to bear the Word of Life.
Because of her purity, humility, and divine motherhood, she continually stands before her Son, praying for the salvation of the world.
Her intercession is powerful because it springs from perfect love and obedience to God.
As the Church teaches:
“Through the intercession of our Lady, the gates of mercy are opened;
through her prayers, sinners are reconciled with their Creator.”
Conclusion
Intercession is a sacred mystery that reveals both the humility of the saints and the mercy of God.
We are called to honor the saints, seek their prayers, and imitate their faith and love.
Above all, let us remember the constant and motherly intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary, who pleads unceasingly for all who call upon her name with faith and repentance.
May her intercession guide us toward repentance, mercy, and eternal life in Christ our God.
Amen.

Amen.
