[Hermann the Cherusker]

"O cause of all blessings" is supplication? One wonders indeed at which point does veneration morph into worship! And all along I though God was the cause and source of everything and all, especially all blessings.

I can see why the Protestants cringe, and I must say so do I, at the words of such supplications.

The words mean that Christ has willed that no blessings come to us except through the intercession of Blessed Mary.

Mary is the proximate cause of all blessings, while Christ is the source and remote cause.

[MarMema]

The words mean that Christ has willed that no blessings come to us except through the intercession of Blessed Mary.

Not to me.

I was raised RC, 12 years of Catholic school, Baltimore Catechism and I was NEVER taught such a thing. Nor have I been taught that in the EO church.

That is news. Where does it say that He willed that?
