Do you believe that your view of existence is the true reality. Do you believe in a secular world view where everything happens by chance? That you are a cosmic accident and that the highest reality is the force of random nature? Then break out of that false reality by accepting the grace of conversion from Jesus through Mary the Mediatrix of grace. Your saviour is not some pasty face looking Neo but Jesus unto who you should kneel. Trinity is not a woman in tight black clothes but an awesome mystery revealed to us. To see reality you do not have to take a red pill but to read the Gospel.
Mary is invoked in the Church under the title Mediatrix of all grace. All the graces which flow from the redemption of Jesus Christ are granted to the human family through the motherly intercession of Mary. Mary mediated Jesus Christ, the Author of all graces, to the world when she agreed to be the human mother of God made man (cf. Lk 1:38). And from the cross at Calvary (Jn 19:26) and as the final gift to humanity, Jesus gives Mary as a spiritual mother to us all: “Son, behold your mother” (cf. Jn 19:26). For this reason, Vatican II refers to Mary as a “mother to us in the order of grace ” (Lumen Gentium, n. 62) and several twentieth century popes have officially taught the doctrine of Mary as Mediatrix of all graces, quoting the words of St Bernard: “It is the will of God that we obtain all favours through Mary.” The Mediatrix performs this task in intimate union with the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, with whom she began the drama of our Lord’s Redemption at the Annunciation (cf. Lk. 1:35).

Don’t take this the wrong way… but Mary seems to have rather mannish hands in this picture. 😉
Katherine, your right and I had thought the same thing. Unfortunately my artistic skills are limited to a strange imagination and cutting and pasting existing art and maybe applying an effect or two.
I love it!
