BTW, Jesus overcame death and came back. He's alive.
Why pray to mary? She's dead as a doornail!
People won't meet up with the rightous dead until it's their turn, or the rapture.
Mary can't hear you. She's dead. Remember?

Yes, Jesus is risen, but the rest is where you and I differ in opinion. So let's just agree to disagree, since we seem to be going nowhere. But thanks for arguing with me. :-)

No, She is not dead. God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob is God of the leaving and not of the dead. If the beggar could be carried after the death to be at the Abraham's bossom (Luke 16:22) and if the criminal who died on the cross was welcome in the heaven, you think that Blessed Mother of Jesus would be denied at least the same?
