Then a few lines later, you admitted/asserted: "The prayers I try to memorize and recite beyond the Lord’s Prayer are the Hail Mary and the prayer to St. Michael."
My footnote to you was: when you seek assistance or miraculous from someone 'in the Holy family', Mary specifically, are you really living that 'trust in the Lord with all your heart, leaning not to your own understanding'? If you are truly honest, the answer is obvious, you are not.
Do you count Michael in 'the Holy family'? Do you count The Catholic Mary in 'the holy family'? Do you have enough discernment to see you have verified that you are not trusting in the Lord with ALL your heart, since you are praying to someone other than the Lord?
'A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.'Proverbs 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. Examine yourself is what I leave you with ...
You are exactly right and those two prayers are to do exactly what you said.
Thank you for the correction of such a blatant error as that. I embarrass myself.
I see do Mary as Family, but Michael as lower in the hierarchy.
Same team, but not Family. The archangels are outlandishly powerful and with a job to do.
So, you’re right, but I do have trouble seeing it in that way.
I guess it’s because tespect and acknowledging them for what they do for us is just me being me, as that’s more or less the way I am with everybody. Trust me when I say you want to deliver a pizza to my house or wait on my table.
Besides, I think His other angels are around sometimes, too, so you never know if the pizza guy might actually be an angel in disguise, maybe doing a situational heart check/test on ya, right?
I think I encountered one in a grocery store parking lot once. Weirdly odd then and still now to think about it. Something different anyway.
Anywho... you’re right. Thanks for the correction. I sure screwed that one up, huh?
