It always strikes me rather sorrowfully that there are those who really don't want to honor Christ's blessed Mother.

Their tone is belittlement and resentment.

Huh! Christ's Mother! Nothing special!

Some hold her to be some kind of common wench whom God Almighty could choose, use, and then drop. Or a purely instrumental Galilee Gestational Unit, a womb since one was needed, but as if unattached to a person, unimportant from a spiritual point of view.

And they say they believe in the Incarnation! When they express not even a normal, human sense of sacredness! So little cherishing this matchless Virgin and her Divine Child.

It makes me sad, as I said. I just don't know what I could say that would kindle a responding love.

While you are thinking of what to say and I have no doubt that you will, please spare a bit of time to pray for me. I am in some substantial discomfort an need God’s healing hand.

What you mean is honor her the exact same way you do.

Have I belittled or resented her? I think not. But your tone towards me . . .
Christ's Mother! Nothing special!
Every soul redeemed by Christs Blood is special. His sacrifice washed away her sins and freed her.

Name names. Or are you stuffing words in my mouth? That is dishonest.

Then you choose sadness. Do not blame it on me. The Bible backs up my position on Mary and Rome backs up yours. To choose the words of men from Rome over the Word of God instills sadness, I suppose.
