There's a difference between meditating on and praying to JESUS when you're doing something else, like driving or the dishes, or ironing, and claiming that you can focus on two people simultaneously.
Focusing on Mary takes it off Jesus and gives to Mary what is rightly due to Jesus.
Scripture exhorts us to pray without ceasing. That means that God recognizes that there are times that we'll be doing other things while we pray.
However, praying to Mary is NOT praying to God, especially confirmed by the fact that Catholics claim they are praying to her to get her to move God to do something for them.
In that case, focusing on Mary is taking time that rightly belongs to God, away from Him.
So are you now setting up a standard by which to judge how spiritual a person is based on the number of hours they spend doing something the way you think they should?
I would say, the internet takes more time away from Jesus than does Mary.
And everyone who blathers on and on about Mary [both sides], should really take a long look at the time they are wasting doing so.
I’m not on Free Republic much anymore. Those characters [taking the place of quotes] that get thrown into articles drives me wacky, so I’m sort of glad they are there; I’ve gotten more accomplished, including prayer!
