how does Heavenly authentic Mary spend 100% of her “time” 100% focused on Christ AND attend to every soul on earth?

Asked and answered.

Scholastic thinking about God, which I hold to and consider supported by the Letter of Peter, holds that God is not bound by time.

Generalthinking about God is that He, ahem, "cannot" lie, as we were recently reminded.

So when God adopts the blessed as His children, we think He makes that, so to speak 'legal' adoption 'real.' We are becoming His real live sho' 'nuff children. HE wouldn't call us Sons and Heirs if he didn't mean for it to be True.

AND, there's the earlier invitation to transfinite arithemetic. In short Mary and all the blessed share God's being above the limitations of time, God because of what He is, us because of God's gift.

Consequently Mary has "all the time in the world" to contemplate God AND all the time in the world to hear our petitions.

For a thousand years in His sight are but an evening, and an evening as a thousand years.

What? Do you think that God CAN lie?

Or is the Bible wrong here?

Hebrews 6:18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.
