To be in Mary’s care is to be with the one who is closest to Jesus. The one whose heart he heard as he formed in her womb. Her entire life was Him and the salvation He brings. Every action of hers leads to Him, opens the world of humanity to Him. Every honor she is given, is His honor as well.

God could have raised a man out of dust, breathed into him a soul and taken that body for Himself, but He chose to come as an infant in the same way we all come into this world.

He chose for Himself a mother, the one thing He did not have as God. Not a creator, a mother. She is the only one who was there from the beginning and she was there at the end. She was a part of His life, flesh of His flesh and also a part of His death. She held Him as a newborn and then held His lifeless body. She knew who and what He is keeping this knowledge in her heart. She called upon Him to help the wedding couple in Cana and though He was not yet ready to reveal Himself He complied with her wishes.

The Church never claims anything for Mary that is not based on her Son. To entrust oneself to Mary is to submit to God in the same way she did. To affirm that Jesus is Lord and she is His mother. To entrust oneself to Mary is to give one’s life to Jesus, just as she did. A confident fiat to His call. An unfailing faith in His love.

Mary points always to Jesus. To love her is to love Him.

Nice ‘sounding’ rationalizations based on nothing but fantasy.

Shoehorning an ocean full of unwarranted worship and blasphemy on top of Mary is an insult to the authentic Mary.

Your own documents illustrate the blasphemy and idolatry outrageously.

We realize there’s a seeming inherent incapacity to see the realities involved.

This is another case of the Chinese proverb being true . . . the onlookers see the game best.
