[Salvation]

Catholics do not worship Mary.

We honor her just like you might honor your own mother.

Catholics do not worship Mary.

Please be serious. Or have you redefined "worship"?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Whatever you say. It looks like worship to me. I would never ever say those things to my own mother. Neither do I consider my mother sinless nor a participant in my redemption.

As for you not reading the post.....I didn’t say that. All are welcome to read it. Like I said, I’ve read yours. Because they are a caucus I do not comment.

We do not have statues of our mom to bow before nor do we pray to her. When we pray, it is to Jesus.

Catholics do not worship Mary. We honor her just like you might honor your own mother.

One of catholicism's favorite arguments....sad as it is.

Consider:

Do you have a statue of your mom?

Do you kneel before this statue and/or light candles before this statue?

Have you composed hundreds, it not thousands of prayers to your mom?

Has your religion built places of worship to your mom?

Do you rely upon your mom for your salvation?

We honor her just like you might honor your own mother.

Nonsense.

I don't have a statue of my mother in my garden or in a church, nor do I light candles to it or in front of it, kneel before it, bow down to it, or pray to it or her.

Bernadine: …all gifts, all virtues, and all graces are dispensed by the hands of Mary to whomsoever, when, and as she pleases. O Lady, since thou art the dispenser of all graces, and since the grace of salvation can ONLY come through thy hands, OUR SALVATION DEPENDS ON THEE.

Bonaventure: …the gates of heaven will open to all who confide in the protection of Mary. Blessed are they who know thee, O Mother of God, for the knowledge of THEE is the high road to everlasting life, and the publication of thy virtues is the way of ETERNAL SALVATION . Give ear, O ye nations; and all you who desire heaven , serve, honor Mary, and certainly you will find ETERNAL LIFE.

Ephem: …devotion to the divine Mother…is the unlocking of the heavenly Jerusalem.

Blosius: To the, O Lady, are committed the KEYS and the treasures of the kingdom of Heaven.

Ambrose: …constantly pray ‘Open to us, O Mary, the gates of paradise, since thou hast its KEYS.

Fulgetius: …by Mary God descended from Heaven into the world, that by HER man might ascend from earth to Heaven.

Athanasius: …And, thou, O Lady, wast filled with grace, that thou mightiest be the way of our SALVATION and the means of ascent to the heavenly Kingdom.

Richard of Laurence: Mary, in fine, is the mistress of heaven; for there she commands as she wills, and ADMITS whom she wills.

Guerric: …he who serves Mary and for whom she intercedes, is as CERTAIN of heaven as if he were already there…and those who DO NOT serve Mary will NOT BE SAVED.

Anselm: It suffices, O Lady, that thou willest it, and our SALVATION is certain.

Antoninus: …souls protected by Mary, and on which she casts her eyes, are NECESSARILY JUSTIFIED AND SAVED.

My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!

God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.

Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.

We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.

Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.

Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.

May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.

You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.

You love us because God and Christ loved us first.

Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.
