What's up, and welcome to Ask Father Jazz.

The podcast where I get to listen to your questions,

sit with them, pray with them, and hopefully respond to them in such a way that it's helpful for you and your walk toward eternity and your walk toward becoming a saint.

Now listen, we're all called to be saints.

God, our Father created each and every single one of us for no other reason than because He desires for us to become saints.

And the greatest saint that God ever created, the top saint, the one who was the first disciple, is the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

Mary is the first disciple of Jesus, the greatest saint who desires for us to join her in heaven and worship the Father,

and being told a communion with our bridegroom of Jesus.

So I thought it would be appropriate for today's Ask Father Jazz episode to do a special on our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This week we have a feast day going on for our Lady, and so I said, why not celebrate it by doing a special on Mary?

Because she is so rooted in the Scriptures, there's so much depth to this Blessed Virgin woman that God chose to be the vessel from which Jesus Christ was going to come and save humanity,

that I think we haven't even penetrated the depths of her mystery.

Like so, so much has just been left on the surface with Mary, and I want to take us a little bit deeper in today's special edition of our podcast.

And so a lot of people have questions about Mary, and so I want to give you some material to have even more questions, because there's a lot more about Mary than meets the eye.

Way more, there's something special about Mary, because Mary is the new ark of the covenant.

So I want to invite you right now to get your Bible out, because we're going to be going deep in the Scriptures, and I want to invite you to write down these particular passages that I'm going to share with you, so that after this podcast, you can use this for your personal prayer.

Now, how do I want to invite you to pray?

Well, first of all, have you want to pray, but my invitation specifically would be Lexio D'Vena.

Lexio D'Vena, because you don't just study and then pray over here.

We want our study to become prayer, and we want to be able to pray with that, which we study so that we can have a deeper intimacy with with the Lord Jesus Christ.

So Holy Spirit come and help us to pray well, do Lexio D'Vena, again, the steps to Lexio to follow me, read the passage.
