We do not want to stand before God at the end of our life and have Him show us all that we could have achieved. How sad it would be to see the multitude of fruits and vegetables we could have harvested, and yet we stand with just a few or worse yet . . . nothing. There will be  no time to go back and retrace our steps and do things differently. But what if we had such a wise and perfect perspective when we set out on our journey . . . before any time was lost? What if we had the wisdom of a person who had lived their whole life when yet we were tiny and just starting out? To have Our Blessed Mother lead us is to have a guide who has not only the perspective of a life already lived, but also the perspective from Heaven where things are seen through the lens of truth.

     Our Blessed Mother who is in Heaven also has the ability to see those dangers where we might fall and be spiritually hurt. While we walk through a thick forest where pitfalls lie before us, she has full view of these dangers and can gently guide us around them in safety. How wonderful to have someone with a perfect view watching out for us and leading us to the goal we seek which is union with God and eternity in Heaven!
