Then Mary stood up, extended her arms and said, “My children, I give you my motherly love and blessing. It is my heart’s desire to lead all of my children towards greater holiness. Live your faith! Let your light shine for all of the world to see. If you deny my Son before your fellow man, He will deny you before the Father. Hunger for those things which feed the spirit. Shun the evil that this world has to offer. Satan is very cunning and he will lead you astray if he can. Prayer is your greatest defense. Pray for the Holy Spirit to come into your hearts. Pray for the love and peace that my Son so willingly offers. Surrender your will to my Son and walk in grace. Tell all who will listen. Thank you for your willingness to do as God asks. Good night and may the peace of God be with you. Praise be to Jesus!”
After speaking these words, Mary turned slowly and walked into her hut. She took off her sandals and knelt in prayer beside her mat. After praising God, she took off her outer robe and veil. She sat down, rolled her veil to use as a pillow, and placed it under her head. She covered herself with a blanket and fell into a peaceful sleep.

About the Book
Through Mary’s Eyes is an engaging story about the final days of the Blessed Virgin’s life on earth. During those days she tells others about her son, Jesus. She answers questions such as: How did John the Baptist survive the slaughter of the innocent babes? Why did an obedient twelve-year old son leave his parents for three days? How did Luke, who was not a Jew or an apostle, know so much about Jesus? Why was Jesus reluctant to perform his first miracle at the wedding feast in Cana? What did Mary experience when Jesus was being scourged? What did Mary do after Jesus ascended into heaven?”
About the Author
Claire Patterson has had a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary since before she could read, but until her trip to Medjugorje, she never realized how much a part of her life Mary really is. That pivotal trip, plus a pilgrimage to the Holy Land five years later, helped to shape this book. Claire is a retired school administrator and keeps busy with her granddaughter, Ella Claire, volunteer work, consulting jobs, writing and traveling. She lives with her husband, Calvin, in Cincinnati. Together they lead a rosary group and make presentations about Mary’s constant presence in their lives.
