“if you ask her to get you there, she will...”

Now, see, there’s the rub. People say to pray with confidence, and that you’ll get what you pray for. However, we all know that sometimes the answer to a prayer is, “No.”

It might not be the best thing for our eternal soul, or God might have reasons incomprehensible to mortal man. Whatever the case may be, we don’t get what we pray for, in the way we want it, or at the time we think we need it.

So, I might ask the Blessed Virgin to get me there, and might be told no.
