258. Should Mary, who is a mere creature, be given so much honor?

It is true that Mary is only a creature. But she is the Mother of God. She therefore deserves more veneration than anyone except Christ who, though man, is also God.

259. Are Catholics required to believe that the blessed Virgin really appeared at Lourdes and Fatima?

Once the Church officially approves certain shrines like Lourdes and Fatima, it would be rash for a Catholic to question the actual appearance at such places. Moreover, numerous spiritual favors and demonstrated miracles are a sign of God’s approval of the people’s devotion at these and similar shrines.

260. What is devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?

Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is the special veneration given to our Lady as conceived without sin and Immaculate; and to our Lady as filled with the love of God and with a mother’s love for mankind, which is symbolized by her Heart.
