Some do, or think they do, which is almost the same thing. Remembrance of Mary's feminine and motherly qualities opens some people up to the remembrance of those qualities in God. They recall the best qualities of their own mothers, or sometimes the lack thereof, and reflect, "Surely God is not less nurturing than a good mother!"
Of course it is always wise to go on to a more mature understanding of God: that he is a Father, more responsible than a mother for the discipline a child needs. But the remembrance of Mary can open up a channel for the person who feels bereft and unhopeful of an answer to prayer.
She is also a substitute mother for those without good mothers, or those whose mothers have failed them in some way or ways. Mary becomes their mother, the perfect mother, who would never fail them.
MOST IMPORTANT: It is essential to go onward from these needs to Jesus and thence to God himself. If you want to make Mary really happy, progress onward to her son and his message.
I think those are important points, Bro.
However, I do not think a great chunk of the Roman Catholic et al sheeple make the jump described below:
They recall the best qualities of their own mothers, or sometimes the lack thereof, and reflect, “Surely God is not less nurturing than a good mother!”
I don’t think a lot of them ever even think of THEREFORE, God is anything at all in the picture.
MARY is as far as they go in their fantasies, in their prayers, in their adorations . . . MUMMY’S LAP AND BOSOM is OBVIOUSLY QUITE sufficient, thank you very much. God and crew can go play harps somewhere.
