I wouldn't have known too what to say, I have had so many experiences that I couldn't just share just to anyone, Running the risk of being ridiculed and branded as delusional...but it doesn't matter anymore, If i sound delusional or even weird, then let it be. The experience is just worth it..Too bad , Many do not open their hearts because of pride. I am glad you shared your story. <BR/>God bless.Distant feethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14444324599543486341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-44474192537967501882008-11-03T17:36:00.000-08:002008-11-03T17:36:00.000-08:00Good one.

And her images are cnsidered miraculous. I feel for you. The idea of a woman becoming pregnant and giving birth while maintaining her purity is really hard to ingest. If we took it literally, I can imagine the bby Jesus coming out from her... uh, never mind... But why dwell on the sleaze, hey I am corrupting the whole immaculate conception thing. You raised quite a point and made me think.

That's fine, and even admirable. We all have a responsibility to share the truth--you think I'm confused as to what that truth is and I think that you are, which leaves us as a bit of an impasse, but I'm sure your intentions are good.<BR/><BR/>Rest assured that I have read the Bible, as have hundreds of millions of other Catholics who have come away still believing that our church's teachings in this area are accurate.<BR/><BR/>It does seem to me, though, that you are confused on an important point--the meaning of the word "pray". Every court pleading, for instance, prays for relief. You may have read older novels or seen plays or movies in which one person says to another, "I pray you..." to introduce a request. "Pray" simply means to ask for something. When Catholics "pray" to Mary, they are asking for something: her intercession. <BR/><BR/>You have undoubtedly at some point in your life asked a friend or family member to pray for you, or been asked to pray for someone else. When you do so, you are "praying" for the same kind of intercession that some Catholics ask of Mary and other saints.RockStorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12371944527312982978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-46337657798650324852008-09-06T01:08:00.000-07:002008-09-06T01:08:00.000-07:00I came across your site quite by accident, and am now perplexed and confused by a single sentence on your blog, which is clearly a commonly held belief. <BR/><BR/>I have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations, and cannot believe how many people have mistakenly believed that Mary lived completely without sin. I am even more perplexed as to why - when even Jesus himself explained that the same is his mother, his brother, and his sister, meaning all of us are equal in the sight of God. <BR/><BR/>Even more unsettling is the number of people who seem to be praying to Mary, even thought it is clearly stated in the scriptures that we are to pray to the Father through Christ. Mary was not a messenger, she received a message from an angel (which is a messenger). <BR/><BR/>Mary DID marry Joseph, and they raised other children together. <BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that NO ONE is perfect except Christ Himself. Not one person, which is why Jesus was sacrificed. Because each and every human on the earth was born into sin. Mary is no exception, she was human, and must repent and believe on the Lord our God to guarantee her salvation, just as the rest of the people. <BR/><BR/>Just a few tidbits of information to get your wheels turning.<BR/><BR/>READ THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATIONS, SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF. DON'T TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S WORD FOR WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.<BR/><BR/>READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF. DON'T JUST TAKE THE WORD OF A MAN IN A ROBE - READ IT FOR YOURSELF!!cjhttp://biblemystery.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-50616459813552217052008-08-14T09:46:00.000-07:002008-08-14T09:46:00.000-07:00One of my favorite images of Mary...

Apparently the sun was shining directly on that special spot and the statue of Mary was painted in gold, the sun's rays bounced off the statue and blinded him when he went to look under the Virgin Mary's dress. <BR/>How true is this story? <BR/>Lot's of people in Trinidad believed it <BR/>and still visit that Church in large numbers. <BR/>As to that blind man, who knows what happened to him. <BR/>What did he expect to find?

I love Our Blessed Virgin Mary because she was God's chosen one. <BR/><BR/>Anytime I hear the question, "who would you like to become or sit down with and talk to?", my answer is the same. The Virgin Mary.<BR/><BR/>The song "Let It Be," by The Beatles is a song which flows through my mind quite often, as do the religious songs from Mass.<BR/><BR/>Rest assured that She knows your heart and the words you couldn't convey.<BR/><BR/>Again. Thank you for your prayers as I truly appreciated them. :)Theresa H.

When I think of Mary i think of our earthly mothers. How as children we see them a beings who can do no wrong. As we get older we see that our mothers do have flaws and are not perfect. This can be difficult to realize for some. But Mary is our mother who is perfect. A mother who we can always turn to and understand that she loves us flaws and all. What a wonderful gift Gos has given us.
