| Posted 12/13/2001 8:36 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hail mary full of grace the lord is with thee. Blessed art though amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb (Luke 1:42), Jesus. Holy mary mother of God (Luke 1:43)pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.(I don't know if I agree with that part.)
Also:
Luke 1:48 "for he has looked with favor on the lovliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed."
Does Catholicism have it right when they call mary blessed? Is this a dispensation we should follow? I am sure you know that when Catholics pray to mary or the saints, Catholics believe that they are alive; although, we can't see them. Is this something we as [protestant] Christians should also do? And Martha calling Mary the mother of her Lord, are those solid grounds for venerating Mary the way that Catholics do.
Peace
Paul
Our natural greatness is seen as part of God's image, and that natural greatness has been conferred on us to enable us to achieve our supernatural destiny:to be related to God and to obey him freely.---Diogenes Allen | | Back to Top | | |
