I hear Catholics praying to Saint this and Saint that. I hear them saying “Hail Mary”.
Those are dead humans. They cannot hear you. They are not divine. But those are the human ancestors you name your temples for.
You guys spend more time praying to and talking about the background characters than the star of the show.
The Souls in heaven, both Mary and the Saints are alive. You have two natures, right? A soul and a body, correct?
The body dies, but the soul lives.
The saints and Mary hear our requests and send them to Jesus.
It’s really that simple.
Haven’t you ever prayed for someone who just died in your family? In someone else’s family?
Have you ever prayed for anyone who is living?
Well the saints and Mary are living in heaven!
Have you really looked at the mysteries of the Rosary? Almost all of them have Biblical references. That’s what we mediate on when we pray the Rosary.
The Annuniciation
The Visitation
The Nativity
The Prsentation in the Temple
The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple
The Baptism of Jesus
The Self-Manifestation (miracle) of Jesus at the Wedding of Cana
The Proclamation of the Gospel (by Jesus) and the Call to Conversion (by Jesus)
The Transfiguration
The Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper
— so far — are these all about Jesus?
The Resurrection
The Anscension
The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts)
The next two — some Christians have a problem with —
The Assumption
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven
— OK, back to Jesus —
The Agony in the Garden
The Scourging at the Pillar
The Crowning with Thorns
Jesus Carries his Cross
The Crucifixion
Like I said above — these are all about Jesus except the two about Mary.
Did you not realize this?
How sad, if you didn’t.......everything about Jesus is from the Bible. Do you have a problem with that?
