Ben...there is nothing in scripture that states repeating a prayer to Mary over and over is rewarded on Heaven...let alone posting praying for her to interceed... as a mediator on a website... over and over. That’s just nonesense and wishful thinking. You can be assured replacing Christ with Mary will most assuredly NOT be rewarded. What a waste of time and heart for those who practice this...when it all should go to Christ..just as He asked.

One, we don’t pray TO Mary, we ask her to pray for us.

Two, 1 Cor 3:13-7 explicitly says that if our works prove true to God, then we will be rewarded in heaven. If you had read the passage you would have understood what I was referring too.

“interceed... as a mediator”

Why would she intercede as a mediator when she can intercede as an intercessor. The terms do not mean the same thing.

“You can be assured replacing Christ with Mary will most assuredly NOT be rewarded”

Of course not, but dishonouring his mother will not be rewarded either. She is due the honour she is deserved.

“when it all should go to Christ..just as He asked”

Why is it always either/or? Why can’t it be both? We are commanded by Christ to pray for one another.
