I am the Way, the Light, and the Truth. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
"My immaculate heart will be your refuge and lead you to God."
How do they not contradict each other? As well as justifying prayers to saints?
My husband: "I am the head of this family and I earn the paycheck. No one eats, sleeps, or has their needs met without me."
Me to my children: "I am you mother, the spouse of the head of this family. My arms and my heart will comfort you. I can lead you to source of all your needs. If you come to me, I will show you how to get what you seek."
How do these two statements contradict each other? They do not. And while this dialogue is quite banal and simplistic, I think it speaks volumes to the relationship that Our Blessed Mother shares with Our Lord.
Our Blessed Mother is unique. She is not just the Mother of Our Lord, She is also the Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Go ahead and envelope yourself in these Protestant lies under the pretext that "real" Christians rely solely on the Lord Jesus Christ. You will shortchange yourself and ultimately will only draw yourself further and further away from God.
Protestants, while professing the Blessed Trinity, do not understand it, theologically nor personally. It is the way the devil lies to them to draw them away from Truth.
They also do not understand death and resurrection. How could they? This is why most Protestants are easily led into and influenced by Prosperity Theology. And it is why so many of their poor souls are lost.
If you want a fuller discussion of Our Most Blessed Mother, Heaven, the Communion of Saints, and a clearer definition of the Church, I am sure most people would be glad to participate in that.
I suggest you read up on the Church---specifically the Church Militant, the Church Suffering, and the Church Triumphant. I also suggest you read up on prayer, what it means and why we do it.
