You guys make Mary CRY!
“I promise you, in the excess of the mercy of My Heart, that Its all-powerful love will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the first Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure nor without receiving the Sacraments, My Divine Heart becoming their assured refuge at that last hour.”
As a Catholic, I have to admit we don’t have any idea what Mary looked like.
And that praying to a statue of Mary is a waste of time.
In fact, I admit we stole the idea of temples, saints, etc. from Greece when they were conquered. We acquired their pagan religion symbols, feasts, beliefs, and added them to our own.
This is no problem because once a pope declares something true, it is really true, even if it was pagan. Add some holy water and we Catholics don’t care the backstory. As the only True Church, we make the rules.
