Nobody ever said she was omniscient!

She merely BECAME that way by being assumed??


Let's try some easy math:


There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT omniscient!

Mary is not omniscient, period.

Whatever extraordinary powers and properties she has in Heaven, are very much akin to the powers and properties we will all have. St. John says that "Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it entered into the mind of man to imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him."

"139 'requests' per second"???

Seriously, Elsie, we have supercomputers that can handle far more transactions far faster than that. If you think we won't far surpass our own machines, your estimation of God's power to maximize our abilities is rather feeble.

". . . per second"? So you do understand eternity as linear -- just like time, only longer?
