Wouldn't that be kind of an example of being a go-between? Seriously.
Jesus said we have an advocate, the Holy Spirit. Isn’t Mary essentially saying, “don’t look to me, look to Him”?
No. Seriously.
Do you really need Mary to tell you to go to Jesus? Won't anyone else work?
Jesus Himself called people to Himself. Isn't that good enough for Catholics? They need Mary to tell them as well?
If they're not going to listen when Jesus calls them, why would they listen when Mary tells them what to do?
Couldn't they just follow her example without her telling them what to do?
Has the Catholic church got its adherents so brainwashed that they can't think for themselves and make their own decisions? They have to have someone do it for them?
I would think that nine months in the womb is a pretty extensive go-between period.
The Word Incarnate taking flesh and bone from His mother was a pretty extensive go-between happening.
Thirty years in the house at Nazareth was a pretty extensive go-between period.
There isn’t any need to down-play or set aside the reality of Mary’s presence in the life of Christ.
And in the end, she was there at the Cross, and there in the Upper Room.
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord.”
“My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
