It's May, and it's your month. We honor you as the Mother of God! Thank you for listening to the angel's words and saying yes. You are our advocate before Your Son, Jesus, our God and our brother. For this, we thank you, and we praise God.
St. Therese said that we, your children, are like flowers in a garden. Each one is special and unique. Each one of us has a purpose in life. Each one of us was born with a mission that will glorify God. How do you keep track of all your children dearest Mother? It must have been easier with only one Son.
Dearest Mother, I often wonder about your life. What was it like raising the King of Kings? Did you and Joseph stand by His cradle and look at Him as He slept? Did you wonder if He would fit in with the other children in your village? Did you wonder how The Father would accomplish His gift of salvation through your Son? Did you talk about this in your family as Jesus grew?
Did Jesus help you in the kitchen when He was too young to work with Joseph? Did you teach Him to cook and to clean? When Joseph died, did you hold Jesus close and tell Him that all would be well?

Amen.

IS PRAYING TO DEAD PEOPLE A SIN?
ReplyDeleteIs it a sin to pray to the Virgin Mary and other dead saints?
Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go Satan! For it is written,' "You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.' "
Praying to any person or anything is worship.
WORSHIP DEFINED: To revere, stressing the feeling of awe or devotion. Adoring reverence or regard.
Any worship of anyone or anything other than God is sin.
The Virgin Mary is not God nor does she have the power to grant petitions of prayer. If men could pray to dead saints and get them answered, then why not pray to saint Moses, saint John The Baptist, saint Abraham, saint Job, saint Enoch, saint The Thief on The Cross or any other dead saint?
Dead people cannot hear your prayers and if they could they would not have the power to answer them.
Prayer is worship and only God deserves our worship.
God knows our every thought. God is aware of every sin we commit. God knows our every move.
God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Those are the attributes of God and what you would need in order to answer prayer.
Neither the Virgin Mary, Moses, John The Baptist nor any otherdead saint has the attributes of God. They cannot hear you nor can they answer YOUR PRAYERS.
YES, TO PRAY TO ANYONE OTHER THAN GOD IS A SIN!
