Emmalot121: I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women.

If she is not Holy do you think she can give birth to Our Holy Lord and God Jesus? She is not just holy but the most perfect of all God's creatures. If she was not the most perfect God could not and should not have chosen her. Intact, before the foundation of the world She was prepared and chosen by God to fulfill her holy purpose. Lk1:28 refers to Her as full of grace. Lk1:48 tells us that all generations shall call her blessed. What does blessed means if not holy? How do you ever think she would have sin in her? It is only the devil that will make you conceive such in your mind, for the scriptures even declared her blessed, then who are you to say she is not as holy? All Ye Children of Mary rise up against these blasphemous toungues and declare her Blessed. O HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, let all creatures publish your praise through all ages, for the Holy Ghost through the mouth of St Elizabeth in lk1:48 proclaims you Blessed.

Duplik8t77: gbam!! u have said it all bro.I just hate when these shallow minded protestant critisize the catholic church

I wonder o.

Its not by force to be a catholic and what ever we do is nobody's business. Drinking panadol on another man's headache

We are all Christians so let's worship God in what ever manner that suits us. Haba.

QAPHAYNE:

Saint francis was ordained as a deacon, not a priest. Check well and let's compare.

St Francis of Asisi was a Friar. From what I read, Friars work among laypeople and are supported by donations or other charitable support. Friars commit to a community spread across a wider geographical area known as a province, and so they will typically move around, spending time in different houses of the community within their province.

"Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: San Francesco d'Assisi; born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco ( "the Frenchman" ) by his father, 1181/1182 – October 3, 1226) was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor, or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares.Though he was never ordained to the Catholic priesthood, Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history."

He remains my favorite patron because he is the patron saint of animals and as an animal enthusiast myself, I respect St. Francis of Assisi.

PRAYER OF ST FRANCIS

Lord, make an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be love, as to love.
for it is in giving that we are receiving.
It is pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

It is refreshing to read the OP because it is frankly nauseating to see the way atheistic fanatics these days make it appear than every one who believe in God or has a religion is an ediot.

The fact is that the vast majority of all learning in history has been propounded by religious people.

And I ask you. Did Christ fall from the skies? Do you think Mary is not necessary? See the secret here friend. God is sufficient to himself and doesn't need any human for the accomplishment of his holy purpose not even Mary. But, in consequence of his will he willed to use Mary to bring Jesus our savior into the world. Now I ask you friend, if Mary was necessary to God to bring Jesus to the world , do you think you can dispense Mary to receive Jesus? Just one instance for you, just follow it with humility and attention. Mtt2:11 says that the Three wise men came and met Jesus with Mary the mother. Check the choice of words. You can't meet Jesus without Mary friend.

Emmalot121: I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women.

Though Mary is the earthly Mother of Jesus(not disputed) but Jesus was(lived) long before Mary was conceived and according to you she was favored to Give birth to her lord.No wonder Jesus said:My people slumber because of lack of Knowledge.
For Understanding begets Knowledge and Knowledge begets wisdom.How can you have the wisdom of God when ye fail to recognise Mary as the child of Jesus?As Jesus is a spirit who came in human form,a King who came in form of man and under who heaven and earth including Mary must bow,yet swallowed his pride and came as a baby through a sinner(every man was born a sinner)Mary.
I have said the little I can as God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth and Nothing earthly i.e Mary must be inferred to when worshipping God through Christ the father of Mary(in Spirit).

I think the problem we're having is determining what exactly constitutes a worship. And what honor is?

The biblical reference for most of the Marian prayers is contained in luke chapter 1. So my question is do you consider Gabriel and Elizabeth's greetings to mary as worship or honour?

Your honest answer to the above questions will put this misconception to rest.

In answer to your question on praying for others.. you might wanna check James 5:16 and I quote

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much

Emmalot121: I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women.

If Jesus is not the son of Mary is he then your mother's son? Mt2:11 made it clear that Jesus is the son of Mary, even revelations 12:1 and ffg said so. Go to Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, pointing to the fact that Jesus is the son of Mary. Hence Jesus is truly the son of Mary. God in his infinite merits made Mary to be his mother. It is not her fault. Don't quest with your little head trying to understand everything about Yod, for if you think out can then God ceases to be God. Accept her not justas the mother of Jesus but also your mother, for Jesus has given Herr to you as well on the cross if you are his beloved follower. Cf Jn 19:26.

They are inspired by the devil. Go to Gen3:15 and you will understand better. For the devil their father will always encourage them to fight against Mary and her child Jesus. Go to rev12:1 and ffg you will also get it clearer. prau for their souls please.

Pleaae brother Mary is not a sinner. She was ever Holy and sinless. Christ was man like us in all things execept sin. So how can Christ to die for our sins using a body defiled by sins? It takes the freed to free the unfreed. It takes a sinless mary to give birth to a sinless Jesus. If you say Mary had sinyou implicate Jesus. For you sat invariably that a sinful body and blood was shed for us but you and I know that Jesus was unblemished. And that Jesus said we should worship him in truth and spirit doesn't hinder you from calling the intercession of Mary for James5:14-16 encouraged us to pray for one another for the prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Remember that a righteous man sins 7times in a day. If the prayer of a righteous man availeth much even with seven falls in a day how much more the prayer of the sinless Mary?
