I missed the verse about at the name of Mary every knee will bow. Same for the saint of the day....
I can't seem to find it either!
It’s called respect. Do you respect your elders?
That is basically taught by such RC "saints" as seen here .
According to Eadmer (A.D. 10601124), an English monk and student of Anselm, sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus...[who] does not at once, answer anyone who invokes him, but only does so after just judgment. But if the name of his mother Mary is invoked, her merits intercede so that he is answered even if the merits of him who invoked her do not deserve it. Through her the elements are renewed, the netherworld is healed, the demons are trodden underfoot, men are saved and angels are restored. Andrew Taylor, Three medieval manuscripts and their readers, University of Pennsylvania press; page 173
Richard of St. Laurence encourages sinners to have recourse to this great name, "because it alone will suffice to cure them of all their evils;" and "there is no disorder, however malignant, that does not immediately yield to the power of the name of Mary." St. Alphonsus de Liguori http://www.doctorsofthecatholicchurch.com/AL.html
At the name of Jesus... every knee should bow... Do you? Or is that just a “ritual”?
