"Mary wants me to have her in my home"

This is a transcript of a call received at the Mary of Nazareth Association office on a Thursday morning:

- Hello Madam, I would like to purchase a statue of Mary Undoer of Knots please.

- Sure! You can buy it online on our website or by mailing us a check. I can give you the amount with the shipping costs included.

- Thank you! I absolutely need it, "she" wants me to buy it and have it at home 

- Who is that?

- The statue! The statue of Mary Undoer of Knots! ... I clean a lady's house every week, so I dust "her" regularly. I really like this little statue. Every week I look at her and dusting her makes me happy. I find her very beautiful. It's as if she was waiting for me. I got so used to start the cleaning with her, that the lady where I work noticed it and she told me where to buy it. That's why I am calling you. I talk to her and tell her my worries. I know Mary well, but I had forgotten about her for the last few years. Now I think of her often, and I talk to her as I used to. And she helps me! I pray to her again and I feel less sad now. When I get the statue in my house, I will feel less lonely. And I will not forget that the Virgin Mary is always with us!
