Our Blessed Mother

So today I've realized that some Catholics have trouble finding personal devotions for Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Maybe it is the way we think of Her? I don't know, but I love her very much because I think of her as my Mother. Not my mother (I love her very much too), but my Mother. I look at a painting of Madonna and picture myself as a baby in her arms. She holds me, she watches over me, she cries when I am hurt or mislead, and rejoices when I find joy in Her Son's teachings. She smiles when I treat others kindly, or give to charity. But she also hurts when I lie, cheat, steal, or treat others less than they should be treated. I don't want Her to hurt or cry. I'd rather make her happy. I pray the Rosary, and when I do, I picture her smiling face when I say a Hail Mary. I want to make her proud. I want to make her Son proud. Here's another thing maybe I could put up for discussion later; If our Mother is Mary, and Her Son is Jesus, does that Make Jesus our Brother? There is the Father, the Holy Spirits, and the Son. But could the Son also be our Brother?
