Ave Maria!

It lies at the heart of the Latin Rite's deep Marian piety and devotion.

I hope to write this a repectfully as possible.

Is is possible for Catholics to see how Catholic practices with regard to Mary are perceived by Protestant Christians? It is perceived by me that this respect for Mary is absolutely teetering on the very edge of idolatry.

I like believing and fully practicing Catholics. I **really** do. I wish we had a nation full of them.

But...When it comes to Catholic practices regarding Mary, I just need to switch on the tolerance mode and say, “Well that's how they do things. We don't do this in my church.”

Mary must have been very old. God is the Alpha and the Omega.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou among women
And Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
