“Nowhere in Scripture are we told to pray to anyone other than the Triune God alone.”

The only ones offering prayer to Mary are the protestants who insist that this *must* be so.

Reagan was right. There’s no difference between Protestants and Liberals. They know so much that isn’t so.

We don’t pray to Mary, for the last time. Intercessory prayer is between believers. Protestants engage it in all the time, they just don’t call it or refer to it in the same terms.

The honest ones eventually understand that even though the terminology is different, there is no difference between asking Mary to pray for us in heaven, and asking your pastor to pray for the congregation.

lol. On this forum we've been told hundreds of times by Roman Catholics that they do indeed pray to Mary. These Roman Catholics maintain they do not worship her, but they most certainly and unapologetically pray to her.

We've posted dozens of Roman Catholic prayers to Mary. Praying to Mary for her intercession is...praying to Mary.

Even your popes pray to her and quite earnestly. More's the pity.

PRAYERS TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Mary, Help of Those in Need

Holy Mary, help those in need, give strength to the weak, comfort the sorrowful, pray for God's people, assist the clergy, intercede for religious. Mary all who seek your help experience your unfailing protection. Amen.

Morning Consecration to Mary

My Queen, My Mother, I offer myself entirely to thee. And to show my devotion to thee, I offer thee this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me as thy property and possession. Amen.

These are prayers that should be offered to the Triune God alone. It's outright paganism to pray these requests to anyone but God. Good grief, Roman Catholic even "consecrate the morning" to her!

Pathetic. "Flee from idolatry." (1 Corinthians 10:14)
