How has the Blessed Mother shown up in your life?
Dana Rachel from @thyflameoflove posed this powerful question on Instagram on a recent reel.
“Tell me the time Mother Mary showed up SO HARD and made sure you knew it was her. I’m talking visions. Miracles. Intervention. Heart-stopping timing. A Marian miracle that made you stop breathing for a second.”
In the caption, she elaborated, saying,
“I LOVE hearing testimonies, they give me such strength and hope!”
Instagram users flocked to the comment section to share how the Blessed Mother has shown up in their lives.
Here are a few of the shared testimonies on the incredible power of Mary’s maternal love and heavenly intercession:
“When I consecrated my middle child to her Immaculate Heart when diagnosed with cancer at 17 months. All of my children belong to Mother Mary & she takes care of them. My cancer survivor child is 25 yrs old and getting married this October!❤️🙌🔥”
“I had had 2 miscarriages after my first son and was praying in front of the tabernacle, on my knees asking Jesus to help me. I called upon the intercession of our Blessed Mother and immediately the whole chapel smelled of roses. I’ve had 2 more children since. ❤️”
“I wasn’t Catholic (married a cradle lapsed Catholic though) and it just came to me, literally out of the blue, that I wanted to become Catholic. I went to a local Catholic Church that I had heard about. I walked in the sanctuary, which was empty. I was just standing there, and I literally felt a tap on my shoulder. I wheeled around fully expecting a human to be there, but there was just a wooden painted carving of our Lady of Guadalupe on the wall. I had this overwhelming impulse to follow through on my impulse, went out into the parking lot and asked the one man that was walking through it ‘how do I become catholic?’ He was the head of the RCIA PROGRAM there. I’m now a grateful Catholic for 25 years. Tell me how this wasn’t Our Blessed Mother’s doing. There are no coincidences.”
“This post and initiation is so beautiful! Thank you for starting this :)))) wish there was more of this on the internet. 🙏🏻❤️🙌 I think Mother Mary and God have helped me many times, probably every day. I prayed for a fiancé and now I am blessed to have him.”
“I’ll never forget the time Mary showed up for us. I was in a car accident with three minors, including my little sister. In the moment of impact, she happened to be holding my Rosary—using it to scratch a lottery ticket, of all things. As the crash happened, the kids were screaming, and I was frozen, but instinctively I cried out to Our Lady. I began praying the Hail Mary, and immediately, it was like a wave of peace settled over the car. The screaming stopped, and miraculously, all of us came out without a single bruise. The Rosary had completely shattered—but I knew in my heart it was a sign of Mary’s powerful protection through that sacramental. She truly showed up.”
“I was in labor with my son. When you go into the hospital they make you take all your jewelry off. I heard a voice tell me not to take my miraculous medal off. So I tucked it behind my gown instead. Hours later my uterus ruptured and we both nearly died. The doctor who’d been practicing 40 years said he’d only ever seen one other case as bad as mine and prepared me that my son went 20 minutes without oxygen and would likely have severe deficits. My son was taken to a different hospital. I prayed ceaselessly to Mama Mary. For 10 days he underwent treatments in the NICU. Everyone prepared me for the worst. Mama Mary never left me. She comforted me with so many signs and waves of strong peace and the promise she had us tight in her mantle. On day 10, against all odds he had a perfectly normal MRI with no signs of any birth trauma. He turns 10 this August. Thank you forever Mama Mary!!🥺”
