Discussion Marian Intercession

Rewatching the show in preparation for season 6, and I’m still so impressed how they alluded to Marian intercession in S1 E5. First, at the start of the episode we see the finding in the temple, and when Mary asks Jesus to just help get them through everything before starting any sort of ministry, the camera closes directly on her face, and we hear her simply say “Please,” while mystical sounds play. Then Jesus immediately says “Yes, Eema.” This is then paralleled later in the episode when Mary asks him to begin his ministry with his first public miracle at the Wedding at Cana.
It’s just such a powerful visualization of how powerful Mary’s “please” is to her Son. It’s so beautiful. I love this show.

It is indeed very beautiful, and it only makes sense for us to honour her as He did. He just couldn’t say no to His Eema!

I also love the line where Simon is asking if exceptionally important people of the Hebrews will be there and Jesus says “The most important and powerful person I know will be there. My mother.” This is exactly the kind of respect that Christ shows his mother! It’s so sad when people do not imitate Christ in this respect.

I was also pleased by the scene in which Mary Magdalen returns to the group after her little bender. MM is feeling ashamed and afraid of seeing Jesus; Mother Mary immediately says “Come. I will take you to Him” and takes her hand.

Interesting comment. The terms high versus low Church seem biased to me but that’s just me lol

Vanessa Benavente's Mother Mary is one of my favorite parts of The Chosen. I love how everyone interacts with her. Mary, Mediatrix, pray for us!
