5. Blessed Virgin Mary Story Blessed Virgin Mary was born in Jerusalem by Joachim and Ann. I don’t know exactly when she was born but I know that our church now celebrated her birthday in December 8. Her parents were a very good and devout Jewish who believed in one God and obey God’s laws. They often went to the temple to pray to God and they help the poor in their village.

6. Imitate Her Virtue of Purity I like her because she is pure, holy and full of grace and she became Jesus’s mother and Jesus is God who came to save us from sins and showed us ways to heaven. She appeared to Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia in Fatima, Portugal and showed them hell, then asked them to do penance, to make sacrifices by praying a lot of rosaries to save souls from sins and to go to heaven. I like to imitate her by saying the rosary a lot and to make sacrifices so I can go to heaven.

8. Pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary To make her happy and Jesus happy and to see her after I die. I know that Mary loves me and always listens to me when I pray to her or ask her for help to avoid saying bad words and be good and kind to others. You will know Jesus and know the way to heaven because Mary knows the way to Jesus and she’ll show you how. Let’s come to the Blessed Virgin Mary often for help, okay?
