    Dr Pitre’s teachings and lectures are what brought me to the Catholic faith. I was a Protestant for 40 years and converted 7 months ago. I’m so grateful.
  • I am fascinated by Mary. I don't know exactly what is, but can you imagine if we could become just a little bit like her. What grace, beauty and virtue we could manifest by being like her. If we copy our lady and Jesus , then our home will be a better place, and then the community and the World. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Mary is our precious Rose.

    Because she was important to God. She carried within her God the Son our Saviour. Mindblowing😊
  • I was raised Muslim, and will start my catechumen this coming May to fully takepart in Catholic church although I have embraced Christianity for year. Realizing there are tons of misconception towards Catholic church, I thank you for this revelation as I'm sure this will help Catholics to strengthen our faith (and maybe to be more articulated to explain the truth during awkward dinner conversation with our Protestant borthers and sisters).
  • WOW!!!! Deeply grateful for this! As a cradle Catholic, I now understand our devotion to Mother Mary ❤
  • @azultortuga78
    Thank you so much for verbalizing what most Catholic feels about the Blessed Mother . The devotion to Mary leads to devotion and deeper understanding of our Lord Jesus.Mary helps and gives us the encourage to be there at the cross like the apostle John. The Blessed Mother Mary showed us how to be obedient and love God above all. She taught us how to be courageous in times of adversities and temptations .

  • Thank you Dr.Petrie. My good friend answering a 7th day adventist question about Mary, told him ^NO MARY NO JESUS NO JESUS NO LIFE^. That shut him up.GOD BLESS
  • @dsonyay
    I heard something awesome last night- a former protestant was asked by a very young bible school student back when he was a Sunday school teacher — she asked “if God is our Father, who is our Mother?” :) Catholics know this answer
  • Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
  • I do much love this heart blown message from Dr, for my years as a catholic I never hear this deep message of mary, all I can say Thank you
  • @LEGASItv

  • LUKE 1 :46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.…
