Litanies of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

 

BEFORE EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SALUTATIONS SAY:
"Our Lady of Mount Carmel,"
AND AFTERWARDS: "Pray for us Sinners."

Queen of Heaven,
Victorious over Satan,
Most Obedient Daughter,
Most Pure Virgin,
Devoted Spouse,
Mother Most Tender,
Model of Perfect Virtue,
Sure Anchor of Hope,
Refuge in Sorrow,
Dispensatrix of the Gifts of God,
Bastion Against Our Enemies,
Our Aid in Danger,
The Way Leading to Jesus,
Our Light in Darkness,
Our Consolation at the Hour of Death,
Advocate of the Most Abandoned Sinners,
For the Hardened in Vice,
For Those who Offend Thy Divine Son,
For Those Who Neglect to Pray,
For Those Who are in Agony,
For Those Who Defer Their Conversion,
For Those Suffering in Purgatory,
For Those Who Do Not Know Thee.
 
Let Us Pray.
 
  

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, glorious Queen of Angels, channel of God's tenderest mercy to man,
refuge and advocate of sinners, with confidence I prostrate myself before thee, beseeching thee to obtain for me [Mention request silently].
In return I solemnly promise to have recourse to thee in all my trials, sufferings and temptations,
and I shall do all in my power to induce others to love and reverence thee and to invoke thee in all their needs.
I thank thee for the numberless blessings which I have received from thy mercy and powerful intercession.
Continue to be my shield in danger, my guide in life, and my consolation at the hour of death.
 
Amen.

Can you prove no Catholics worship mary? No.

According to the dictionary definition of worship, I worshipped Mary, when I was a catholic. 😁🤣 You probably did too. No more, however.
By the way, praying to Mary and the saints, is evil. The Bible calls it necromancy. 🤪

Sorry Joe; but I have that same headache I had last night, and the night before that and...

I'll probably have it tomorrow night as well.

Heck; even Joel Osteen tells folks to find themselves a bible based church to attend!

I don’t know what % of Roman Catholics worship Mary,
but I’d bet the majority idolize her as a demigoddess.

They should look at what happened when King Saul tried to talk to a dead person.

Catholics are taught that being Catholic makes you better than everyone else.

Heck; Mormon minds of mush get filled with better than that!!

Jesus is the ark, not Mary.

Mary was merely pregnant for 9 months and gave birth.

She didn’t need to be perfect not sinless. Jesus could handle having an imperfect, sinful mom.

They’ll never admit it, though.

Except maybe by accident when they’re breathlessly screaming at us about how sinful we are.

I have a lot of fun on these threads; the FRomans around sound like they’re giving themselves ulcers.

GOD does not have a mother.

He is eternal. If He had a mother, then He would have had a beginning and Mary would be preeminent over God.

Since you claim God has a mother, then the Catholic god is not the God of the Bible..

“ The pride of being in “the one true church” is a lure that is hard to escape.

Ya think?!?


 

MORMON
ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY
 

  1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost -- you don’t!
  2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power -- you don’t!
  3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple -- you can’t!
  4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge -- you’re just normal!
  5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven -- you’ll be with strangers!
  6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God -- you aren’t!
  7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t.
  8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures).
  9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve got 13 Articles of Faith.
10. I'm Superior; I have 4 "Bibles"-- the standard works (5 if you count the JST) -- you've only got one: in as far as it is translated correctly.
11. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. —                           -- You can’t.
12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics -- 
                           -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not a Christian.
13. I'm Superior; I have a testimony about a prophet -- you don't.
14. I'm Superior; I have a Scripture-producing Amos 3:7 prophet -- you don't
15. I’m Superior; I have a Living Prophet who talks to god every day -- you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself.
16. I'm Superior; I have my calling & election made sure -- you don't.
17. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man -- you don’t.
18. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom -- you don’t ;so you can’t.
19. I'm Superior; I know secret handshake codes for afterlife entrances-- you don't.
20. I’m Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably                              -- You’re on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going!
21. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob -- you’re going to who knows where.
22. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity -- you don’t.
23. I’m Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple
                            -- You have nothing but a stupid cross.
24. I’m Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away -- yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty.
25. I'm Superior; Last - we have the power to keep a whole race out of our priesthood if we wanted to reinsert our 148-year legacy  (we ARE still keeping an entire GENDER at bay!)
26.  I'm superior; I have the "higher law" -- everyone else "lives under the "lesser law' because I say so...(over and over).

No doubt bro. My point is, however, according to the dictionary definition of worship, idolizing her as a demigoddess, IS worship. 🤪😁

Similarly, in Revelation 8:3-4 we are told that something …

Interesting.


But Rome really can't get past the bad doctrine it taught to at least seven churches in Asia mentioned by an angel in the first three chapters.


Wanna address those??

Ulcers? I’m sure they have an Ulcer Saint.
And a feast that honors him. (non-spicy, lactose free , of course).

Staggering, isn’t it.

That’s why I say that if you remove all the Mary stuff from Catholicism, it’ll collapse like a house of cards.

You know what would be nice?

Is if some Catholic somewhere had the integrity to be actually embarrassed about drivel like that instead of swooning over it.

Archaeology has revealed two tombs of Mary, one in Jerusalem and one in Ephesus.

The fact that Mary lived in both places explains the two tombs.

FACT??
I can see where the Beloved disciple possibly DIED at Ephesus:

"NPNF2-01. Eusebius Pamphilius: Church History, Life of Constantine, Oration in Praise of Constantine – Christian Classics Ethereal Library". ccel.org.


...but that does NOT place Mary there.

...except for the fact of the assumption of her body.

There you go again.

Stating something is FACT merely because you've been taught it is true; without evidence.
