“You believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, His death on the cross, His resurrection and His soon return.”
It’s part of the celebration of Mass AND the Holy Rosary. We’ve been saying it for many centuries. Baptism we can discuss on another thread. Right now it’s all about Our Blessed Mother who has taken hostile hits here from another poster. It’s why I’d like to explain exactly what we do when we recite the it so next time s/he will know exactly what they’re doing and suffer the consequences as it will no longer be - that they know not what they do.
Liturgy of the Eucharist:
Preparation of the Gifts: “Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation...” (cf. 1 Chron 29:10; Ps 72:18-19; 119:10; Luke 1:68)
Eucharistic Acclamations: “Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might...” (Isa 6:3; Rev 4:8)
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” (Ps 118:26; Mark 11:10)
Words of Institution: “Take, eat, this is my body...” (Mark 14:22-24; Matt 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Cor 11:23-25)

“Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.” (cf. 1 Cor 16:22)
“When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in glory.” (cf. 1 Cor 11:26)
“Lord, by your cross and resurrection, you have set us free. You are the Savior of the world.” (cf. Luke 4:42)

As you can see Mary it’s part of the liturgy we proclaim as the mystery of our faith, “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.”
The Holy Rosary - (see posts #58+#77)- when you check out the link in #58 you’ll see further scriptural meditation on this beautiful gift.
Reciting the Holy Rosary is like being brought to the Blessed Mother’s side and together we implore her Son’s mercy and grace. It allows us to experience the depth of Jesus Christ’s love for us. Their presence is very real and palpable that one can almost feel their comforting embrace. One is at peace with the world; nothing else matters. It is a prime time for reflection and relaxation in God and in the Blessed Mother’s presence.
PS: DO me a favor Mary, when you’re checking out #58+#77, let me know if you think the biblical references are “fables”. Here also...thanks.
So Mary shows up with Jesus as well...Jesus is in the wafer and wine...Where's Mary??? Learning more about your religion all the time...
If I was to offer adoration to your Mother of God, I can't help but think I'd rather offer it to the Father of God instead...At least the Father of God is still a 'God'...
Thank you, chase, for the post. It’s good to see the verses here and my prayer is that people truly believe them and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. We can all recite verses but does it just become a habit or do you really believe what they say and are you trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation? I appreciate your sending me these.
Those of us on these threads who are not Catholics do have a problem with the way Mary is put on a pedestal and often appearing to be equal or even above Christ. It’s not that we disrespect or dishonor her. NO. She IS the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We honor her for that. Too often she’s nearly worshipped for being more than that (co-redemptrix, salvific, sinless, no other children, etc.). I know the other poster isn’t making fun of Mary. He pokes at what some Catholics have made of her.
Bless you. Mary
