Along with Mary Jesus also came with Her 

The coming of Mary was an occasion for the divine experience

The coming of Mary was an occasion for the Elizabeth and John to be filled with the Holy Spirit 

The coining of Mary was an occasion to speak about God's miracles marvellous deeds 

The coming of Mary was an occasion for us to see the greatness of Mary in terms of service, complete trust in God and to deepen our relationship with God and others

The apparition of Mary are the proofs that Mary is still coming into the lives of the People 

Through her apparitions she comes into the lives of millions of people 

Apparitions, still tell us that Mary is still coming into our life and we are blessed indeed.
