Yes, we are her children. I already posted on this awhile back. “Son behold your Mother, Mother behold your Son.”

Not sure why this is difficult to grasp. She is a mother for all of us, especially those who have lost ours. :)

Well of course, she would have to be able to hear us, when we ask for her, no? That’s really not the issue at all.

Except to you, it’s prayer unless they are physically present.

As for your snippet, I encourage you to read all of the prayer and understand. I don’t *expect* that of you, but it’s your challenge.

Blessings.

God doesn't expect it of HIS OWN, and HIS OWN don't dabble in deception.

Yet again, we observe the

Vatican Alice in Wonderland School of Theology and Reality Mangling

Take a perfectly fine splinter of a toothpick of Scripture and mangle it and reality about it 1,000,000,000% out of whack and out of all remotest reality.

Yet again they construct a Taipei 101 Tower on the foundation of a splinter of a toothpick of a Scripture

And then they have the brazenness to pretend THAT MAKES SENSE!

And they procede to get all huffy when sensible sane Proddys don't join them in such delusions!
.
May God have mercy on such deluded souls.

Your little smiley face reveals much.... I have often thought many catholics see Mary as a replacement of affection for the mothers and wives they no longer have. The images of her fills the place their mother or wife had. A feminine creature the church sanctions as readily available to them...which encourages Mary worship. But sadly Mary is no more available to them then their own mothers or wives are. They are all hopefully safely with the Lord.

How can she be our mother when we’re created by God? The verse you quote doesn’t come close to affirming that.

No, she would not have to be able to hear anyone. She’s not omniscient, nor is she omnipresent. Only God is. Only God hears/answers prayers. No one else. Certainly not a creature like us.

I read the prayer. And at least you now affirm it’s a prayer to Mary. Now I would still like to hear and understand your dissonance (another big word for you there, narses) concerning prayer to Mary. You’ve spent quite a few posts trying to convince me that Roman Catholics do not pray to anyone other than God. But, this prayer that narses posted is a prayer to Mary.

Which is it?
