Your post makes no sense. How can it be contrary to any of Our Lord's commands by asking Our Lord to give us the grace to love as He does?

And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23

As Catholics we try to live lives in imitation of Our Lord. Your Protestant prejudice is showing again.

Speaking of satanic deception, there seems to be a lot of enmity between you and the woman Mary.

I have a world of respect for the woman Mary -- and condign loathing for the demon who masquerades as Mary from time to time to lead folks away from God.
