So, you pray to Mary and Jesus is her secretary relaying the message to her?

The Catechism, in the Sunday Missal (Catholic Catechism) says, “My salvation depends on Mary’s mediation and union with Christ, because of her exalted position as Mediatrix of all grace.”

The Holy Trinity is YOUR secretary!

The atoms of ink and paper, the phosphors and whatever aether the light passes through, the vinrations in the air and the tickling of hairs in our cochlea -- all this is from God and by God.

The electro-chemical reactions which lead the stimulation on your retinae or ear drums back to the meat CPU where you become conscious of them and have a thought about them, ...

The society that taught you to speak and read and write, the mother and Father who loved and love you, the teachers, the pastors, the scholars -- all of them were served, and borne up, and carried over many difficulties - but more amazingly through the daily miracles we take for granted: speech, air, light, meaning, and the capacity to apprehend it ...

The Holy Trinity is your nurse, and secretary. He who came to serve, served long before He came.

And if He serve you and us, why not her?

But now Blogger, let's get this straight . . .

It takes Mary and Saint umpteump and Saint hippity hop and Saint bless my bones and a thousand and one other saints WITH MARY to effectively bend God the Father's ear. Otherwise, prayer is futile--along with Christ's Blood.
/sar.

Gag me with whatever. What an affrontery to Jesus' Death and Blood and being our INTERCESSOR, our ADVOCATE.

Christ is the power that makes the Communion of saints possible. It pleases Him to grant His saints abilities exceeding that of angels, that certainly exceed the ability of the flesh:

9 ... we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. 12 We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know I part; but then I shall know even as I am known.

(1 Cor. 13)
