Statue of Mary visit



Our lady, Mother Mary had come all the way from Fatima to New Zealand
and had visited our school. We welcomed this beautiful big statue with a

liturgy and rosary. She was crowned by our principal Mr.Coakley.
We prayed the rosary and sang Ave Maria. I felt emotional when one of the
nuns(Sister Mary Claire) were talking about Mary and the pain she had felt
when she saw Jesus getting crucified on the cross.
She gave us a heart warming and beautiful lecture about Mary and how she
loves all kids. How Mary had came to a group of children the same age as us
and said that she wants us to do good. She told us how Mary parted the ground
like Moses parted the Sea and pointed to the fire of hell.
She said that Mary doesn’t want us to sin because if we do we’ll go to hell, and
when you go hell it feels like when you burn yourself on a Barbecue.
Mary doesn’t want us to feel the pain that Jesus felt as he was nailed to
the cross. Then Sister Mary Claire said to us that we should pray the rosary
everyday or every Saturday to help us with the struggles we have in our life,
families or school. When we had quite time to talk to Mary it was a very deep
and meaningful for me. I talked to Mary about personal things that had been
going on at home and asked her to watch over my family where ever they go.
When the nuns were ready to take Our Lady to see another Parish we sang Ave
Maria as our whole class walked her to the back of the church.
