Then why don't you do it before a STATUE of Jesus?
Using statues and paintings to help us pray and worship the Lord our God is not sharing his praise with carved idols.
“Then why don’t you do it before a STATUE of Jesus?”
I don’t?
Someone pointed out earlier that the blessed mother didn’t say much in scripture. Maybe its because she didn’t say much in public. Or in the church.
Here is a good passage that applies to her and others who would be like her:
First Epistle Of Saint Paul To The Corinthians Chapter 14:
[34] Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. [35] But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul I will not ask for Elsie’s reply.
