...Is it from "Totus Tuus Sum Maria"?

Yes, I originally stole it form our last Pope of Blessed memory when I first signed up;)

Tell me...when you pray WITH Mary...does she understand English...is she omnipotent, or omnipresent?

If you want clarification of that whole "WITH" thing I just posted another freeper about it above, i think #533.

Oh Lordy, this is a new one for me. Properly speaking only God is Omnipotent and Omnipresent. They are both one and the same in the mysterious Eternitiy and Being of God. They are attributes that we can only weakly apply to Him, because we have no way of comprehending His Infinite Being.

Only in the fullness of heaven will I (or anyone else) know what it is like to be fully united to God and know Him directly face to Face, as it were.

However, the Saints in heaven possess the Beatific Vision of God, even though they do not have their resurrected and glorified bodies yet – though Catholics believe that Mary does. We can further surmise that the Angels in heaven know everything in detail about what happens on Earth from the Gospel of St. Luke.:

Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:10)

Also form St. Matthew:

"See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.”

It is therefore appropriate to speculate that since angels have cognizance of what happens here on earth, then the Saints through the Beatific Vision of the Blessed Trinity do likewise. Furthermore, since Grace builds on nature, and since it would only be natural for the Saints in heaven to have a concern for those on earth they have left behind, and more importantly, since they are consumed with Divine Charity – since it is the one virtue that is the goal of all the others - , and the Love for their brothers and sisters in Christ is perfected, it only makes sense that in God’s good pleasure He would provide them the supernatural gifts to be able to be fully aware of what is happening on Earth and communicate with them in the communion of Saints. That is, they would be able to hear and understand them and plead for them directly before God. The best I can come up with for now, anyway.

But jeez, if I knew exactly how it worked, I’d already be in heaven!
