Power of Intercession of Mother Mary - across the world

 Power of Intercession of Mother Mary - across the world

1. On the eve of the Battle of Borodino in 1812, Russian generals and soldiers sought solace and divine intervention by praying before the Smolensk Icon of the Virgin Mary. As a result, despite France boasting the most formidable army in Europe during the 1800s, Russia managed to resist the French invasion successfully. The turning point occurred when an unusually early Russian winter descended within a month, leading to the destruction of the entire French army. Napoleon, an avowed Atheist who even went so far as to arrest the Pope, experienced a crushing defeat in 1815. He was exiled to a small rocky island in the middle of Atlantic, far away from Europe and held in captivity as Prisoner of Europe. Before his eventual death in St. Helena, Napoleon embraced the Catholic faith once more.

 2. In 1571 and 1683, the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer Vienna, where the Christian army found itself outnumbered and outgunned. On both occasions, the tide of battle shifted through the prayerful intervention of Mother Mary, saving Vienna from the Ottoman forces. Subsequently, the Ottomans never launched another attack on Europe.

The enduring faith of many Europeans, particularly in Eastern Europe, continues to play a significant role today. It is noteworthy that regions with a strong faith tradition tend to preserve their cultural heritage. Conversely, there is a perceptible decline in traditions and culture in places with diminishing faith, such as England, where Middle Eastern culture appears to be gradually displacing traditional values.

 3. When Tipu Sultan launched an attack on Travancore, the Christian women of the region gathered at the Manarcadu church, praying fervently for the defeat of Tipu and his formidable army. The rape, atrocities and horror stories perpetrated by Tipu's religiously motivated forces had already reached Travancore, instigating deep concern. This historical event is widely known among Kerala Christians, highlighting the origin of the unique tradition of an 8-day fasting period in the region. In a surprising turn of events, Tipu Sultan faced a sudden and devastating setback as his army was lost in an instant flood of the Periyar River. Tipu failed to invade Travancore & met his end with British. 

 4. There are couple of more wars against powerful Ottomans , won through luck by European nations. And the luck turned out to be the intervention of Mother Mary. Those who are interested may research on this further.

These are just a few examples where the intervention of Mother Mary changed the course of the world. Millions still seek the intervention of their daily problems and miracles are reported across the world. Mother Mary shrines are across all the continents. 

 No wonder, National Geographic, well known scientific magazine carried an article on Mother Mary and the millions of miracles attributed to the intervention of Mother Mary.  Thousands of Shrines across the world is devoted to Mother Mary , who was lucky to carry the Savior of Mankind in her womb. So, she is venerated across in all continents!  That’s why in December of 2015, National Geographic featured an amazing title. “Mary, The Most Powerful Woman in the World”.  It’s not often that the secular world bestows such a high title on the humble Mother of God as Catholics and Orthodox love so deeply. What is it about Mary that makes her so powerful?

 The essence of this article is to underscore that the intervention of Mother Mary should not be dismissed as mere coincidence; rather, it has been credited with performing miracles. How the miracle happens? Is it faith healing? While prayer may be interpreted as a conduit for invoking quantum forces & energies, it's crucial to acknowledge that alongside prayer, human effort played a significant role in the outcomes observed. The message is clear: when seeking Mother Mary's intervention, it is imperative to complement prayers with sincere human endeavours. Only then Mother Mary can intercede on your behalf and seek blessings from her son, Jesus for their endeavours and efforts.  So, Human efforts and Prayers shall be in the ratio of 50:50.

 The idea of a 50:50 ratio between human efforts and prayers is not a strict rule but rather a conceptual way to emphasize the importance of both aspects. It suggests a balanced approach where individuals are encouraged to put in sincere and diligent efforts (the human aspect) while also seeking divine intervention through prayer (the spiritual aspect). The specific ratio may vary based on personal beliefs and interpretations.

 In essence, the message is to combine earnest human endeavor with spiritual faith, understanding that both contribute to the overall journey toward a goal. The emphasis is on a holistic approach that integrates both the practical and spiritual dimensions of one's efforts.

 God Bless all readers of this small Article 😊
