You get Protestants seeing Angels experiencing the Holy Spirit at their services but rarely or never to I hear they encounter Our Lady or have an apparition. Or does Our Lady only turn up at churches who honour her - Catholics/Orthodox. Maybe someone can share if they encountered her at their non Apostolic church.
 
All Protestants I’ve come upon downgrade Mary to “just a human” or no one special because “God could have chosen anyone, she was just lucky” so I don’t see why Mary would choose to appear to someone who doesn’t love or respect her as the one who raised God. I think Jesus even eludes to this in some Marian apparitions, saying many deny her and if anyone honors Mary honors God.
 
misstherese can you elaborate on what Jesus said about his mother and where I can find the link? Also a lot of Protestants have experiences with Jesus and why doesn’t he tell them about his mother.
 
Possibly because they are false apparitions. I guess I wouldn’t know for sure. I couldn’t imagine Jesus appearing to someone without the fullness of faith unless He was trying to send them a message of conversion out of love. Just my thoughts.
Here’s the quote,
Message from Jesus Christ - Friday, August 14, 1987
My daughter,
She is My Mother from whom I was born.
He who honours Her, honours Me.
He who denies Her, denies Me.
And he who asks something from Her, obtains because She is My Mother.

This apparition is approved by the Church.
 
Spiritual decernment is available to all as saint Paul said in 1 cor 20 all the promises of god are yes and Amen.

When I was in mejorcahi . I watched that Mary spirit descend and appear to the visionary’s.

It is interesting to see the catholics praying to a familiar spirit that poses an a virgin Mary.
The author blake heeley has a book that teaches how to see dimensional spirits called the Vail.

I’ll make it possible for you remove the “all” from your statement. She is the ever-virgin God bearer, filled with grace by God Himself.
We honor her because she is His mother.
"hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are you among Women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Amen

Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

This Message was confided by Our Lord to Berthe Petit, a humble Franciscan Tertiary, born on January 23, 1870, at Enghien, Belgium:

“Teach souls to love the Heart of My Mother pierced by the very sorrows which pierced Mine.” (December 25, 1909)

At the Holy Hour (March 25, 1912) the Blessed Virgin spoke thus: “I have called myself the Immaculate Conception. To you I call myself Mother of the Sorrowful Heart. This title willed by my Son is dear to me above all others. According as it is spread everywhere, there will be granted graces of mercy, spiritual renewal and salvation.”

Why Devotion to the Heart of Our Mother in Her Sorrows?

Because Jesus wants this devotion.

“Jesus Christ Himself revealed to Blessed Veronica of Binasco, that, He is more pleased in seeing His Mother compassionated than Himself.”

He said to her: ‘My daughter, tears shed for My Passion are dear to Me; but as I loved My Mother Mary with an immense love, the meditation on the torments which She endured at My death is even more agreeable to Me.’

“Wherefore the graces promised by Jesus to those who are devoted to the dolors of Mary are very great.”

I guess Luther wasn’t honoring Mary by referring to her as the “Queen of Heaven” and “Mother of God.” Not all Lutherans are the same, but there are many many Lutherans who honor Mary and hold her in as high esteem as Luther did. What Lutherans don’t do, and neither do the Orthodox, is make her into some kind of demigod.
 
People of all faiths, Catholic, various Protestant faiths, and Muslims witness the Apparitions of Mary at the Coptic Orthodox Church in Zeitoun Egypt.

I don’t think Catholics do, either, at least if they follow the tenants of their Church
 
Yes,It pleases Jesus when we love and honor his tender beautiful Mother and our mother too.🙏❤️

Maybe I didn’t understand fully what you are saying here but I have had several people close to me who have had Jesus come to them (my mother included). None of them were or are Catholic and there was no message to convert as they are Christians. It was a visit full of tenderness, love and acceptance and, depending on the situation in their life, brought about comfort and reassurance - I love hearing these special instances from others!

God bless!

Yes Martin Luther had many different ideas that modern day Lutherans (at least all the ones I’ve known) don’t hold today, including his belief in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Many Lutherans or other protestants have told me that Catholics worship Mary, which is simply not true. Mary is, however, given special honor known as “hyperdulia” while other saints are given “dulia” and God is given “latria”. You can read more about it here if you’d like. http://www.ewtn.com/v/experts/showmessage_print.asp?number=388983&language=en
 
When you consider that many protestants like to say that “Mary is just a sinner like everyone else,” it makes perfect sense when Our Lord said, “Do not cast your pearls before swine.” He has no reason to allow His mother to appear before people who hold such views.
 
Quite right. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of God, after all.

Well, I could site polls that say Catholics don’t believe in the real presence, too, but that doesn’t make it the doctrine of either tradition.
Not sure why you targeted Lutherans, since they are not the ones here making such an accusation

I’ve heard Jesus appears to quite a few Muslims. They say Jesus was a mere man and not God. Jesus appeared to Saul and he was actively persecuting the Church. I see no reason the Blessed Virgin Mary couldn’t appear to Protestants. Jesus and Mary convert people and that means dealing with those who don’t believe.
