Can't go wrong having the Blessed Mother with you :)
Ethiopian athlete Meseret Defar provided one of the most emotional moments of the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games when she crossed the finish line in the 5000 meter race to win the gold.
She then pulled a picture of the Virgin Mary out from under her jersey, showed it to the cameras and held it up to her face in deep prayer.
An Orthodox Christian, Defar entrusted her race to God with the sign of the cross and reached the finish line in 15:04:24, beating her fellow Ethiopian rival Tirunesh Dibaba, who was the favorite to win.
A teary-eyed Defar proudly showed the picture of the Virgin Mary with the Baby Jesus that she carried with her for the entire race.

I love this, the fact that she did this... wow... Praise Jesus... I get emotional each time I see this picture of her holding up the picture of Mother Mary!!!
I love this too - she made the sign of the cross 3 times. I love the Ethiopian Church - they sheltered the Holy Family on their flight to Egypt.
THIS IS GREAT! I LOVE IT!
MOTHER MARY SURELY TAKES OVER...
TO JESUS THRU MOTHER MARY...
