I asked a simple question about praying to Mary and you post a bunch of stuff about Novenas (I almost bought a Chevy Novena back in the early 80’s). I would just like your opinion on subject of praying to Mary.
When Jesus ascended into Heaven, promising to send His Spirit, Mary, the Apostles, Mary Magdalen and some of the Disciples gathered in the Upper Room where the Last Supper had taken place, praying and awaiting Jesus’ promise. Pentecost was nine days afterward, and on that day, the Holy Spirit came. Hence the Catholic practice of imitating these holy people and praying for nine days in succession for an intention. This is often accompanied by fasting or alms, and should always have the intention as well of accepting God’s Holy Will, whatever it may be. I hope that clears it up a little. Thank you for asking, and God bless you!
True.
But you asked G2G the question; I merely butted in.
Look at HER answer here, and hold HER feet to the fire.
At least I posted some DATA and not my OPINION.

So what’s the point of praying to Mary if there’s no guaranteeing she’ll even hear you? To: tbpiper

Faith doesn't need guarantees! Just because she isn't God, doesn't mean she can't hear me. People who now exist in eternity, as opposed to time, possess an awareness they could not when on earth.

I've had 4 Vegas.
One day I bought a riding mower, that did NOT run, for $200.
I also bought, the same day, a Vega that DID run for $50!
She's DEAD.
She hears NOTHING.
