[Old Yeller]

I’m Catholic, and I often go directly to Jesus when I pray. I also often go to his mother because I love her and Jesus listens to her.

As in, "cmon Jesus, you HAVE to do what Mary says because she is your mother"? Jesus is the Creator. Mary is the created. Mary worships Jesus because she knows he is God. I doubt very much that she can make any demands of him, otherwise, she would be God.

Mary: “Son they have no wine”
Jesus to Mary: “My times has not yet come”.
Mary to the servants: “Do whatever He tells you”.

That is hardly sounding demanding. She sounded perfectly resigned to his most holy will.

I just want to put this out there. There is a great radio show (and website) called Catholic Answers. You can listen to podcast via Itunes. A large percentage of callers are protestant, some call just to challenge but most call because they want to get their facts straight. So many are misinformed on what the church REALLY teaches. I’ve learned so much about my faith through this program. If you have questions, this might be the show for you. You can call in daily and speak to an expert.... or not. :)
