I appreciate the thought but I’d rather you direct any prayers for me to the Father or the Son. I know those are heard.

uhhhhh, when we pray the HAIL MARY, we are asking her to intervene on our behalf.....don't you believe that Jesus just might react to His mother's request sooner than yours??????

No.

No where in Scripture or in early church father teaching is such concept to be found.

All believers have the same access to God.

14This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 1 John 1:14-15 NASB

Believers have Jesus interceding for us.

31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Rms 8:31-34 NASB

All believers have the Holy Spirit interceding on their behalf.

26In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Rms 8:26-28

To your point that Jesus might react faster to Mary's request before ours.....NO.

Mary is a created being and is not able to handle the myriad of requests necessary to do what Roman Catholicism suggests. For her to be able to handle the prayers she would have to be a goddess.....something to consider.

Therefore; logically; Mary would put a papal prayer ahead of yours in her daily to-do list; right?


You'd best beware; as Dominicans can read FR; too...
