This book is complete because of the help and support of wonderful people to whom I am deeply grateful. First, I wish to thank Michael Lee Allen and Jill Kramer for their help in selecting and editing the true stories that appear in this book. They were both angels who gave me much-needed support and assistancethank you!
Second, I want to send thank-yous to all of the men and women who submitted their true stories about Mother Mary to me. I admire your courage in openly discussing your deeply personal experiences, and I realize you agreed to publicly publish your stories so that others may benefit. Thank you!
Third, I want to thank those who have helped me visit the Mother Mary shrines over the years, including most recently Sonia Rossi, who took me to the Loreto Cathedral in Italy. I also wish to thank everyone at Hay House, my publishing family since 1993.
Most of all, my gratitude to God, Jesus, Mother Mary, and the angels for watching over us all and helping us to be loving and strong.

These are the references from the Gospels (King James Version) in which Mary is specifically named:
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
(Matthew 1:16)
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
(Matthew 1:1825)
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
(Matthew 2:11)
Is not this the carpenters son? Is not his mother called Mary?
(Matthew 13:55)
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgins name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
