Maybe u know a better person to pray to. Or maybe we can't pray to someone who was born without Original Sin. I think Jesus would smile upon a man who HONORED (NOT WORSHIP) His mother.

I'm not sure what you mean by praying to a better person, or someone with out original sin, possibly you'll amplify what you mean.

Concerning honoring Jesus mother but not worshiping her, I agree, but do you think a man should first honor his own parents, and spend as much time helping them as most who venerate Mary?

Do you believe God will honor someone who spends all their time in prayers to Jesus mother, when they have not made peace with thier own mother or father?

The only way to honor your father and mother, so therefore you'll need to pray to the holiest Mother of all, Mary.

I'm not sure what you are implying here? That those who have a Marian devotion neglect their families?

Obviously, as much as is possible, a person should honor both their actual parents and their spiritual parents. We know in practice, however, that with some family despite repeated efforts there can be no peace.

With God's family there always can be peace.
