Sorry; but you've have seen by now the MANY prayers TO Mary; posted in this thread; for all KINDS of powers that ONLY GOD has.

No, I've seen prayers that YOU yourself have posted that I myself am not familiar with. If those prayers you posted are indeed said by other Catholics, you are misunderstanding/misinterpreting them. Catholics do not believe that Mary is endowed with special powers as a god would be.

>>you are misunderstanding/misinterpreting them.<<

Are you telling us that Catholics don't mean what they say?

Hey!

I just posted them!

I said NOTHING about them.

If??

Grab a chunk of text and Google® it.

Oh??

I'm confused then...

Let's try some easy math:

There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'endowed with special powers'!
