it was by her assent that Jesus was conceived and born.
please, please, stop with the phony “one mediator” charge. asking someone to pray for you, does not make them a second mediator.
don’t you know God is a God of the living and not the dead?
you don’t understand that those in the Body of Christ, be they on earth or already in heaven, can come boldly to the throne of grace.
Revelation tells us the martyrs are very much aware of what is happening on earth.
finally, if you have a problem with the prayer, take it up with St Augustine, he wrote it.
You might want to rethink that comment..... Never will I stop repeating that Jesus Christ is the only mediator "BETWEEN" God and Man. Never. It is truth and Jesus stated that He was time and time again. "No man can come to the Father except by me".... Further... praying for other Christians, who are here and alive, we are indeed encouraged to do. That is hardly the same as petitioning departed individuals. Again, Catholics are treading on dangerous ground when they petition departed individuals for assistance.
