Your question about the Hail Mary was a non sequitur, so I didn't see a need to respond to it.

By bolding "your instructions" are you trying to say that I have made them up myself? I will obey the instructions of Jesus, rather than recite the man-made, non-authoritative Hail Mary. Your church has led you astray. But Jesus has assured you that he will even leave the rest of the sheep to seek one lost lamb.

I do not think it is prudent to argue about things you do not understand. The words recited in the "Hail Mary" are scriptural. Our church has not led us astray. You may choose to believe what you would like to believe. You are right about Jesus, though. He does seek all of His lost lambs, and surely that description fits most of us from time to time.

Spare me.

But Jesus has assured you that he will even leave the rest of the sheep to seek one lost lamb.
Thank you Miss Cleo for divining what Jesus has assured me.
