What about our Heavenly Father, what about the Holy Spirit, what about His commandments, etc., etc., etc.!!!I was formerly a evangelical who was a solely a believer in Jesus Christ and I only prayed and showed my devotion to him alone…
Believing in Jesus alone is a fallicy and has never been enough, even Jesus preached against it.
“PRAY” means ‘to ask’.
“Venerate” means to give respect.
“Adore” means to worship as divine.
You venerate your mother, you venerate your father and you venerate Blessed Mary the mother of Jesus Christ.
You can pray for help from coworkers. You can pray for help from others in your ‘prayer chain’ when sick. You can pray for help from the Holy Spirit. Or you can pray to Blessed Mary to ask her Son to help you too. Blessed Mary would thus be in your prayer chain since she is alive and with God.
You adore God and God alone. You pray to God or you ask others, including Blessed Mary and the Saints, to be in your prayer chain and pray with you and on your behalf TO God and God alone! You don’t ask Blessed Mary to answer your prayers, you ask for Her intervention to get God to answer your prayers.
Hope this helps, protestants define words diferently then Catholics or even those protestants in Engalnd. Words change in meaning between cultures and in time. To understand this is to come closer to the truth when dealling with protestants and Catholics. Study the dictionary and the Holy Scriptures!
