[PeterPrinciple]

And if a memorial of Jesus brings someone closer to the living Lord himself?

I would also add the lesson of Mary and Martha. What Martha was doing was not a BAD thing, but there was a BETTER thing and that was sitting at the feet of Jesus, which He would not take away from Mary.

Let him who has ears, hear........................

[Petrosius]

My continued question is why one would prefer a substitute or a indirect relationship with God when one could have a direct relationship?

And why would you assume that one is a substitute for the other? I have a watch that my father gave me. I know that the watch is not my father but I cherish it because it once his and it reminds me of him. Catholics who cherish items associated with our Lord do indeed also have a direct and loving relationship with Jesus. It is the worst of rash judgments to think otherwise.

The major difference is the LORD is alive and you can have a relationship with Him. Your worldly father is dead...........

If your worldly father were alive, you would go be with him instead of his watch................
