....the mary catholicism worships is not the mary of the Bible rather a created entity/idol of their own imaginations and making.
Additionally as Christians we have direct communication with Jesus Christ...We have the unfailing promise of Jesus that He will hear our prayers.
Jesus said...."So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened‚‚."(Luke 11: 9-10)
There is only ONE Mediator between mankind and God and that is Jesus Christ. (ITim:2)
Jesus is the only one worthy to present us before God's throne of grace....It is because of our great Mediator Jesus Christ that we are able to stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ Himself...Jesus is always interceding for us....no one but He is able to intercede for us...not saints..not mary,...Only Jesus Christ alone.
There is no question about that. The reason to pray to saints in not to bypass the Mediator but to get to Him.
Let us pray
St. Sylvester, you educated the mighty in their faith.
Make us good teachers in defense of the Holy Church.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
