Does the name of Jesus ever come up, or is your rosary leading these people to your Church???

That thought never dawned on me, Iscool. I don't know if the people picking up my rosary (and there's been about six or seven so far) are even all Catholic. I never really asked, and I don't invite these folks to church or to pray either. One woman yesterday (before she checked out my groceries) picked up the rosary and said, "so beautiful, so beautiful," and put her hands together in prayer.

And prayers, of course, to Mary go straight to her Son, with that extra little encouragement that comes from a mother. To leave Mary out of the equation of Christian Love can cause struggling and impoverished mothers on earth.

And what if they don't??? What if Jesus never hears prayers to Mary???

There's nothing in the bible that would suggest any such thing...Jesus says for you and I to go directly to the throne of Grace, which is directly to Jesus...

Be a real pity, or even tragedy if someone prayed to Mary for a sick or injured child and Jesus never heard it...

Pray directly to God thru Jesus and you will know for certain that God heard your prayer...
