Now, would Our Lady come to a Protestant? You are right, probably not. You will have to pray to her very hard for that to happen.
From my book:
It is now clear that the ardent Catholic faith in Christ that calls us to imitate Him wholly; the saving faith that the Holy Scripture demands of us with all our heart and all our mind and all our soul, -- is a near impossibility without the example of saints, some of them people quite like you, dear reader, or like me – of which later. That is because the Holy Apostles had the friendship of Jesus in the flesh and miracle of the Resurrection before their very eyes; for them their salvation at the end of their natural lives was a certainty, for the Holy Spirit entering them was an observable reality. From the Pentecost on they knew that their joining Christ in heaven would be the crowning achievement of their lives. Strangers came to Jesus as well, but the faith in them was, it seems, a voice of desperation hoping for a miracle and seeing miracles. Not so for us: we live in a different age. Modern technology gave us lives of comfort: diseases are conquered one after the other; we rarely suffer from cold or heat, choicest foods are as near as our refrigerator; finest wines are in the store; pain is anaesthetized; death is remote; sex is available. Science is what gave us this easy and abundant life; it can explain most everything, and death, science explains, is final. The Resurrection of Christ, and our own, is a scientific impossibility. May be there is in us an altruistic gene, maybe not (science is closing in on the answer as I write), but from a practical perspective altruism is either a ploy to keep a beggar away, or a superstition. In this environment, it is easy to fear death, but it is not easy to have faith. The very diversity of saints in the thickness of ages and right to our own age gives us examples of people to whom we can relate, whose cultural and economic background was comparable to ours; from their heroic acts we draw inspiration and reach for maturity of faith. Their lives justify ours.
You're not.
No, not by a long shot. He's not suggesting, he's advocating.
