Please. Mom why don't you just read the parts of scipture that include Jesus. You ought to say because the whole thing is about Jesus right? And you do read the whole thing right? Because there's richness and texture in that depth of knowledge. Same thing with Mary, meditating on the grace of Mary enriches greatly. I'm sure you enjoyed the Passion of the Christ. Mary's part wasn't small was it...

I do not light candles to Moses or David thee is a difference of which I am sure you are aware.

St. Bernard wrote Holy Scripture was written for Mary, about Mary, and on account of Mary.

It occurred to me the other day how the uniqueness of Jesus could be overwhelmed by a devotion to Mary

Most see and understand that the ark of the covenant is a type of Christ.
Now it is a type of Mary ( with the bowing angels and the mercy seat on top)

Scripture tells us that Jesus was born without sin
Now Mary is born without sin

Scripture tells us that Jesus is the judge and in Revelations he says He has the keys to the Kingdom
now it is said that Mary has the keys to the Kingdom

Jesus is said to be the one mediator between God and man..

Now Mary is the Mediatrix

Jesus is the Reedemer of men
Now Mary is Co Redeemer

Jesus was resurrected
Now Mary is "assumed"

Jesus is the final judge but St. Bonaventure says no one gets into heaven except that Mary let them in

Christ is the refuge of sinners.. yet that is one of her titles, Mary refuge of sinners

. It is God that shows mercy, yet a title of Mary is "lady of mercy"

Write on, that is not pointing to Christ in my opinion,, it is all pointing at her
