To Honor our Lady the way our Elder wanted.
When we are faced with an image of the Virgin Mary, She Herself wanted to give us this grace and to perform miracles. The Virgin Mary Herself through these sacred images wanted to comfort the world.
So first when we kneel in front of an icon of our Lady is to thank Her for coming to our place or staying in our place for so many centuries. Then first, thank Her for Her miracles, for Her divine visits, for Her divine love, for Her motherly love for us sinners. And then we start making our demands. Of course we will first ask Her to take away our flaws, our mistakes and then ask Her for protection for the whole world. Then for our family and last for ourselves. Then we remember all the sick who asked us to pray. We pray for the peace of the whole world.
