**Mary does personally hear the prayers directed to her, or that the smelling of roses is evidence of her actual presence with the devotee.**
This has happened innumerable times from St. Juan Diego and others.
Even simple people in parishes!
Can you figure that out?

So you rebuke me for asserting what the RCC teaches on the matter, and then you rebuke me for not believing, with “simple people,” that a human spirit is capable of being present with all the Catholic believers in the world. I myself do not believe that human beings can have the divine attributes of omnipresence or omniscience. Nor do I believe that God ordained human spirits to be the “stronghold” or “hope” of believers. I’ll lean on God, and you can go to Mary if you like, and we’ll see who is the one with the real power.
