Mary is Jesus earthly mother , and nothing more then that. Spiritually speaking God chose her from all women.
What do Roman Catholics mean when they say Our Lady?
All Catholics, not just Latin Rite Catholics, render dulia to the saints and angels. Dulia is the Latin word for the reverence of a disciple for his master or a servant his lord. In the Church it is used for the reverence due to the angels and saints as friends of God. Hyperdulia, on the other hand, is the special reverence due to the Mother of God. Lady in English refers to a woman of superior position especially one of noble birth. No woman in history has been more noble, or of a more superior position then the Mother of God. Thus the dulia rendered to her is the highest possible dulia, and thus known as hyperdulia. Please understand that dulia and hyperdulia are still reverence to creatures of God due to their conforming to His Will. The adoration due to God alone is known as latia, which is infinitely above dulia, even hyperdulia. She is "our" Lady because in St. John, Our Blessed Lord gave her to all of us from the cross John 19:26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!†27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!†And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

.AnswerThe story of Lourdes is yet another story of the love of a Mother for her children. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette, a young girl in Lourdes, France and told her to drink of the water. There was no water there, Bernadette dug in the ground and the spring which appeared now provides a great flow of water, at which many people, over the years, have been healed. As of now, nearly 7,000 of them have been healed physically, and many more spiritually. Bernadette entered a convent, and to this day, her body is preserved incorrupt in a glass coffin. For more information, see the links below.from the website Our Catholic Faith: In 1858, in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl.
She revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception, asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision, and told the girl to drink from a fountain in the grotto.
No fountain was to be seen, but when Bernadette dug at a spot designated by the apparition, a spring began to flow. The water from this still flowing spring has shown remarkable healing power, though it contains no curative property that science can identify.
Lourdes has become the most famous modern shrine of Our Lady.

What Christian religion does not believe in the Virgin Mary?
The question is an oxymoron. To be considered a true Christian one must subscribe to a belief in the Nicene Creed which states ".........for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man." So, if a cult or an individual does not believe in the Virgin Mary, one can not be considered to be a Christian.

What did Our Lady of Guadalupe do?
Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, a convert to Catholicism, while he was walking to Mass one day. He thought she was an Indian princess but she asked him to go and ask the bishop to build a Church there. He went and saw the bishop, but he thought that Juan was lying and spurned the request. He visited the Lady again, meanwhile, Juan's uncle was dying. The uncle was his last living relative after his wife had died and when he came back from his visit to the Lady, he was cured. Juan visited her another time during winter. She told him to go pick roses that were on the hill. To his astonishment there were roses in full bloom during winter. He brought those roses to the bishop as a sign in his garb, but once he had opened the cloth, an image of Our Lady was on it along with the roses.
All in all the bishop was so astonished that he immediately had a church built on that site.

Who did the Virgin Mary put in the basket in the river?
There is no record either in written history or oral tradition that tells of the Virgin Mary putting anyone in a basket, much less anyone in a basket in a river.
You have probably confused the Virgin Mary with the mother of Moses who, to preserve her child, placed him in a basket and sent him down river that he might not be killed in the population purge decreed by Pharaoh. Moses survived the purge because of this, having been rescued by Pharaoh's own daughter, and grew up to be chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from Egypt.
Which gospel begins with a list of jesus ancestors?
Matthew 1:1-17 is the geneology (ancestral history) of Jesus.
Why is Mary sometimes called Saint Mary of the Angels?
Christ, as I'm sure you know, is King of Heaven. Therefore, since the angels live in Heaven, Christ is their king. Mary is likewise the Queen of Heaven.
Having the king's mother as queen is something that has been practiced for thousands of years, even occurring in the Bible such as in 1 Kings 15:13, and many places in Jeremiah, including Jeremiah 13:18. This practice began as a result of the multiple wives the kings had. A nation could not have more than one queen, and so the king would have his mother rule at his side.
This practice has continued to a point into modern times in countries such as England. The wife of the king is the actual queen, but the mother is given the title of "queen mother." This would occur when the queen is widowed and so her son comes into power.
However, going back to the times when the mother of the king was made queen as the norm, it would make sense for Christ to make his mother Mary the Queen of Heaven. Therefore, since she is the Queen of Heaven, she has authority over the angels and so is their queen.
How is the Virgin Mary the protector of peace?
