You are creating a false distinction. Mary's will is completely at one with, and submerged into, the will of God. When God sends angels to help men, as when, for example, He sent an angel to free St. Peter from prison, is not the angel merely carrying out God's will? Are the outcomes deriving from the will of the angel and the will of God one and the same in this type of instance?

When God sends Mary (or another saint, or an angel) on a mission to do His will here on earth in our own day, the same things apply. I marvel at how people can come to the conclusion that such things can't be from God, as if God always acts directly in mediating our affairs. Scriptural examples of His use of secondary intermediaries abound. Quoting John 14:6 is entirely irrelevant. Heeding Mary, when she is sent to us on a "mission from God," is coming to the Father through Jesus.

I marvel that Catholics will believe anything with the name Mary connected to it...

"Mary": Only I can help you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.

When someone claims to have contact with a ghost and the ghost communicates and contradicts what Jesus tells us in scripture, you can bet the ghost isn't from God...

'Only I can help you'??? A message straight from Hell...

Might be wise to heed what Jesus says as opposed to ghosts that claim the opposite of what Jesus says...

It may be a little convincing if ghost Mary would just say to follow Jesus...But when the ghost says, 'follow Me', it time to pack up and leave for some better truth...
