So you agree, then, that devotion to something other than Christ is OK, as long as it is not put before Christ. This is exactly the Catholic devotion to Mary.

And before you say it...no, most Catholics are not confused and misguided and satanically tricked into putting Mary first. We do not believe Mary is God. We do not believe Mary created God. We can adore Jesus as our Savior and One True God and still have enough love left over for Mary, our spiritual mother.

Do you not ask others to pray for you? Do you not pray for others? Lighting candles is simply a way of asking for prayers. Kneeling before the statue is a way of focusing our attention, as is the rosary.

Catholics believe that those in heaven can intervene for us because they have become joined with the Body of Christ through salvation. According to scripture, even those in hell can ask for intervention, as the rich man did when he saw Lazarus in heaven with Abraham.

We know Mary intervened with Jesus on earth. Why would she not continue in heaven?

Love, O2
