Just making a statement … the rosary is a prayer primarily addressed to Mary (for her intercession). I see no need for a prayer to Mary when I have been given permission by Jesus to take my prayers directly to Him.
Not to start a flame war, but why do you consider the two contradictory? If I were to visit you at your home and your mother were there, I would greet you both.
BTW, the heart of the Rosary is not the vocal prayers (the Hail Mary’s, etc.) but the meditations or Mysteries, which are mostly focused on the life of Jesus.
The Rosary is a prayer to Mary, yes, but I’m sure that you are aware that almost all the Mysteries of the Rosary, pertain to the life of Jesus Christ.
Are you familiar with them?
When I say the Rosary I am meditating on the Life of Christ, not just saying Hail Marys, Our Fathers, and Glory Bes.
You stated in 4; I would if I wanted my prayers to stop at the 14th floor. My prayers go all the way to the top floor … directly to Jesus.
And in 6; Just making a statement … the rosary is a prayer primarily addressed to Mary (for her intercession). I see no need for a prayer to Mary when I have been given permission by Jesus to take my prayers directly to Him.
Please show me where Jesus gave us permission to pray to Him. All references pertaining to our prayers, that I have read Him make, is for us to pray to His Father and our Father in His, Jesus’, name.
