It is symbolic of her strength and fight against evil.

Luis had a saintly uncle, a priest. Luis was able to deflect the bulllying of other students and this impressed John. John who had never been able to overcome his temper, one day, wanted to use his strength to fight back and send a swing. Luis told John, he could do more through kindness than using his physical strength. Luis told John 'the Lady told me this in a dream', as a young boy. (Citation paraphrase from book, Saint John Bosco by Catherine Beebe, Ignatius Press, 1955, pages 77 and 78, you can find it on line, google) This is yet another example of how Our Lady conquers satan, completely differently, than the above pop-pseudo-schema..Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087896324870854252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-69938670058051969772016-11-02T19:49:15.360-05:002016-11-02T19:49:15.360-05:00Genesis 3:15 further relates that the evil one wil...Genesis 3:15 further relates that the evil one will lay in wait for Her heel (She and Her seed, the Christ), as Our Lady is far above this rendition and conquers in battle with the devil BENEATH Her, not anywhere near, or in Her face..Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087896324870854252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-62689383076710138162016-11-02T12:17:53.243-05:002016-11-02T12:17:53.243-05:00My defense of Our Lady is posted at Crisis Magazin...My defense of Our Lady is posted at Crisis Magazine. The undeclared 'author' and exact location (? British Museum) make this image suspect. Mary is 'full of grace' (Luke Two). As such Her hands hold the graces to help souls find Her virtues and Her Son, and to get to Heaven. To 'be like Mary', is to be totally consecrated to Her and find one of Her worthy saints, like Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, and perform the 33 day consecration to Her Son. Mary's 'hand to hand' combat is generally performed through Her saints and angels, like Saint Michael, as She is above these direct disputes. "August Queen of Heaven, Sovereign Mistress of the angels, Who has been given the mission and the power to CRUSH THE HEAD of satan (Genesis 3:15), send Thy holy angels, that under Thy command and by Thy power, they may pursue the evils spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attempts and drive them hence into the abyss of woe. O Most Holy Mother, Thou shalt ever be our Love, our Light our Hope and our guide. Holy Mother and Holy Guardian angels, watch over us and protect us.'Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087896324870854252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-20135888894885487902016-10-28T14:15:11.215-05:002016-10-28T14:15:11.215-05:00As always, we can learn a lot from Mother MaryAs always, we can learn a lot from Mother MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-80739646595249219852016-10-21T17:16:40.440-05:002016-10-21T17:16:40.440-05:00Deo gratias.
