Marian Devotion(2 questions)

[isaacalsop]

OK first question. I get that Mary is not God and not to be worshiped, only honored, but where do we draw the line? How do i know i could do more or am doing to much for Mary? Also…what are some ideas to appropriately honor her?
Second question. I have prayed about 120 Hail Marys in the past week, for different intentions, some sort of dumb, some bigger intentions. NOT ONE of those prayers has gone unanswered. That’s amazing, every single intention answered, so I am inspired to pick up a larger devotion to Mary. Also it it Mary of Jesus who answers those intentions? And anyone else have similar experiences?

The above link will answer all of those questions and more. You sound like you are in a place where St. Louis de Montfort is really going to speak to you. And it is his feast day today! So you must be getting a pulled this way

FrDavid96 provided a great link on another thread that might be relevant. It is the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

There is a whole chapter on the veneration of our Blessed Mother.

I feel it’s Our Lord who answers petitions to Mary through her intercession basically by her asking for us.

Thanks for the answers! Maybe Louis de Monfort IS trying to talk to me…I posted this question, then left and went to a book sale where there was like 3 books for free, one was the book The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis de Monfort, which i took because it sounded good. then I came back and learned that that was his feast day…interesting.
