Seems that Mary, the mother of our Savior is as polarizing as Palin on FR threads. All are welcome to follow their own hearts. I personally embrace the Mother of God and ask her to pray for me and my loved ones
Leave the poor woman ALONE!!!
Can't you figger out that shes REALLY busy???
Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'devine'!
