Pope Francis: Jesus continues to pray and intercede for us.

by her manifold intercession

I guess when Jesus gets tired Mary picks up the slack.

The CCC teaches that Mary intercedes for us.

OTOH, Scripture teaches that Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us.

I'll take them over Mary, thankyouverymuch.

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 8:34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Hebrews 7:25 Consequently, he (Jesus) is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
