These were prayers of the Pope...Jesus is mentioned as an afterthought Imo....and far less then Mary in his prayers. Ceertainly he does more than encourage Mary worship...as he mentions kneeling before her statue....which is clearly idolatry. But of course they have fabricated another word for what they do to justify their actions..as with so much “stuff” that’s ritualistic within their church.
It’s very obvious they give Mary the honor and position which upsurps Christ’s rightful place. In one prayer he referes to her as Queen as well. It is no wonder there are some who recognize this adoration as that similar to the earth queen environmentalists worship...the vocabulary used is similar.
It’s especially offensive when he speaks of Maryas the “keeper of Europe”..which of course she has othing at all to do with. Nations rise and fall by the and of God alone...additionally that she is the one who guides people to toward heaven...which is the work of the Holy Spirit...certainly not Mary who is powerless on earth since she is with the Lord...amazing beyond measure what they acknowleddge her to be within their church. Why need Jesus at all since she pretty much covers all which He is and does for us?
No usurpation at all. Jesus loves his mother/ we love his mother
