‘Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus’ - 50 times, even saying His name is a prayer.
Adds up to what?‘Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus’ - 50 times, even saying His name is a prayer.
[Try saying His name alone 50 times in a row, can you even keep count and concentrate on His name at the same time. Its easier to have a structure, experience shows.]
…‘Pray for us sinners’ - presumably to God, who else, 50 times your prayer goes to God + Marys prayer to God with you, another 50 times.
It all adds up.
100…prayers to Christ, that is.
And?
And what? I just argued AGAINST those that insult the rosary and the prayers to Mary!
Why? when you don’t recite the rosary, nor do you believe The Blessed Mother is the Queen of Heaven. I understand Protestants just think she is just a conceiver…just curious why you would stick up for her when there have been so many Protestants against her.
And who said I don’t, and who said I don’t think that way about Mary? You make such gross assumptions about everyone who isn’t catholic that it’s sad. You have to be catholic to stick up for Mary? Give me a break. You don’t have the market cornered on defending Christianity and its tenets.
Er…excuse me, but you show me ONE PROTESTANT WHO THINKS THE BLESSED MOTHER IS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND I WILL APOLOGIZE. JUST ONE.
You have been talking to one.
What verse in Scripture tells you this?
I just never in my life, you are probably the only Protestant who claims she is the Queen of Heaven. Then I apologize.
**Sometimes you just have to think outside the book!
**Why would you not have reverence for anyone that God set aside for a special purpose? I think the answer to your question is found in the reading for Sunday Liturgy this week:
I honestly hadn’t thought about it, but yes I do think it’s a little ironic. Kind of like, Why are you listening to your mother? You should be listening to what I, a stranger on the world wide web, tell you.The “arpon strings from your mother…”
hmmmm…how easily we toss out phrases…does anyone else see the irony here???
Listen, if you people pick apart what people say on here, you have a serious problem. The person said the mother kind of brainwashed him so i thought I was helping him. It really was between me and him.
Or…maybe the individual should open his or her eyes to the world around them…and realize that their are “other sources” of truth and information… Living inside a paperbag is not a safe place to live…
The “Book” is all that we know of her. To go outside the “Book” is to speculate and build doctrines of men.**

But the prayer is directed toward Mary. Yes Jesus is mentioned,she is the mother of Jesus. But “Hail Mary” is what I am talking about.‘Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus’ - 50 times, even saying His name is a prayer.

It all adds up.
Yes, we see the difference and it is significant.
No and no. The “Hail Mary” is a prayer of “intercession” asking Mary to pray for us. Its that simple.
No, we do not believe that praying to Mary is the same as praying to God. In a way, yes… but as I said before, it is asking Mary to intercede for us with God.
No…that is not what is meant…about talking to one’s wife. I have never heard anything like that. My wife is a rather “religious Catholic”…but when I speak to her… I am not speaking to God. I am speaking to my wife, the Admiral of our boat, my soul-mate, help-mate, and the love of my life. But she is not God.
Touché. I guess I missed the “brainwashing” statement.
