Forgive them, Father, they know not what they're doing. I'll pray for the same thing to Jesus, though.
So God’s mother is not in heaven?
Or are you saying that her Son forbids his mother to have knowledge of the affairs of Earth?
Whatever one’s view of Mary, it’s for sure that our Father in heaven heard the petitions of these beautiful, ardent souls, they are His own, after all.
What? Did Jesus tell you He locked up His mother in an isolation unit?
How in the world would you know what the blessed in heaven can or cannot do? Do you really think that in heaven you’ll be held incommunicado, and your capacities will be inferior to what they are here on earth?
As it is written, “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man to imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Don’t sell Him short. He does what we cannot even conceive for His blessed ones in heaven.
I’d bet my right arm up to the shoulder that Mary hears better from her present vantage point, than we do from ours..
Why would you say that? Mary hears just fine.
I don’t even know how to grasp the fact that Protestants don’t understand the churches relationship with Mary,the daughter of the Father, the mother of Jesus, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit. How do you not see the family aspect, just as in your own family. It’s not one or the other, it’s all encompassing.
Mary does not replace Jesus, no one can. Mary leads you to a deeper love of Jesus. She never wants glory for herself, she always points back to Jesus.
I would back off the Blessed Mother, she is His mother after all. How exactly would you feel if it was your mother being put down.
