Jesus said that for the lukewarm their last hopes is to run to His Mercy - His Divine Mercy and for separated Brethren
"They tore at My Body and Heart" during Jesus Bitter Agony in the Garden receiving His Holy Visions from God our Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit then and of the future seeing hearts souls turning away from Him ignoring Him during lives and not opening hearts in love and trust in Jesus praying and talking to Him just as Jesus taught us to do when praying and talking to God and Holy Spirit in

John - many of Jesus Holy Passages too numerous to quote

This love and trust between Jesus Holy Spirit and God our Holy Divine Majesty is the Love and trust from hearts not just minds with earthly knowledge that Jesus seeks of us with humble hearts as Children not knowledgeable adults

““Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:15-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Read Saint Louis De Montfort "The Secret of The Holy Rosary"

Jesus delivered The Most Holy Rosary of which is Gods Holy Word Jesus New Testament to Saint Dominic and Father De La Roche in 1214 and again in 1216 with Jesus explaining for mankind to pray The Holy Rosary to our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary with every "Our Father" prayer as a Holy Rose going to Jesus God our Heavenly Father From it and every "Hail Mary" Prayer going to His Blessed Holy Queen of Heaven and Holy Queen of Love and Mercy The Blessed Virgin Mother of God with Our Lord Jesus Catholic Creed delivered by Jesus Himself and The Hail Holy Queen Prayer and this prayer from God our Heavenly Father Himself included

O God whose only Begotten Son through His Life Death and Resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal Life grant we Beseech Thee that meditating on these Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of The Blessed Virgin Mary we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise through the Same Christ our Lord Amen

Hail Holy Queen Mother of Mercy
Hail our Life our sweetness and our hope
To Thee do we cry poor banished Children of eve
To,Thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears
Turn then O Most Gracious Advocate Thine Eyes of Mercy towards us and after this our exile show unto us Thy Blessed Fruit of Thy Womb Jesus
O Clement O Loving O Sweet Virgin Mary pray for us O Holy Mother of God that we may be made worthy of The Promises of Christ Amen

The Holy Mysteries including our Lord Jesus Sorrowful Holy Mysteries were delivered by Jesus Himself to His Priests and Religious Nuns Saints well before 1214 dating back earlier than the 9th Century with Jesus appearing to Saints Nuns and Popes and Priests having written Gods Holy Prayers and Gods Holy Messages all part of Gods Holy Word His Holy Scriptures imploring people hearts to focus on Jesus Bitter Passion His Sorrows His Sufferings with Holy Illustrations painted and drawn from Jesus God Holy Spirit our Blessed Holy Trinity with our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary

By the way use common sense

Jesus Holy Spirit and our Blessed Heavenly Mother Mary are not and have never delivered Jesus Holy Prayers and Holy Messages contrary to Gods Holy Word and Jesus has always requested repentance of sins to be made to Him for Salvation and to read Gods Holy Word His Holy Word Holy Spirits Holy Scriptures and to receive Him in Holy Communion and to ask for our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary's Holy Intercession praying to Jesus and Holy Spirit God and to Holy Mother Mary in Her Most Holy Rosary of which is Gods Holy Word in both The Old Testament and New Testament

I would copy and paste here in Holy Illustration however this laptop does not have this facility

ROJ if you could do this that would be greatly appreciated
The Secret of The Rosary or
The Holy Rosary websites one of these in illustration thankyou greatly for HRDJ or new Christians if interested in some of the History of our Lord Jesus and our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary in God our Heavenly Divine Majesty and Holy Spirit
Your posts crack me up.

You all receive God our Heavenly Fathers Holy Blessings Holy Gifts and Holy Graces through our Lord Jesus Holy Spirit and our Holy Queen of Mercy and Holy Queen of Heaven with all of the Glory Thine my Dear Lord Jesus God my Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit yet you sit and profane our Lord Jesus Christs Holy Mother of God Whom prays leads all hearts back to Jesus to God as Holy Queen of Mercy Whom God Himself has let you know in His Holy Word in Revelations and within His Holy Psalms yet few of you must pray prior to reading Gods Holy Word for Holy Spirit to illuminate your hearts in Gods Holy Discernment

Sadly people this is your loss because every profanity and derogatory remark made against our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary is accountable to Jesus God Holy Spirit in His Judgement about Gods Holy Queen of Love Mercy and Holy Queen of Heaven did you not read about our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary's Holy Coronation in Revelations if you disbelieve Gods Holy Word in Gods other Holy Passages

All the best

Awesome please include scripture references to the following topics as well.

Mary's role as mediatrix
Assumption of Mary
Mary's intercession
Mary is the queen of heaven
Mary can have people removed from purgatory (good luck with that one because purgatory isn't even in the bible)
Mary never sinned (the Magnificat indicates that she did sin. "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior," Mary wouldn't need a savior if she never sinned.)
“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Brother please forgive me it is not my intention to hurt anyone. I sincerely apologize. Please don't take what I said about Mary as an attack against her. I would never do that. As a Christian I also love and honor Mary. The point I'm trying to make is the catholic church has formed many false doctrines about Mary, purgatory and indulgences. I wish Mary was here today I'm sure she would refute all the false doctrines about her. Please understand that I have learned quite a bit about the origins of these teachings and I feel compelled to share what I've learned. You quoted apocryphal writings and we can't rely on the apocryphal writings. There are some that even say the Jesus killed people as a child which is completely ridiculous. Jesus never sinned. They are not inspired writings and you should completely disregard them. I'm at work right now and I can't explain in more detail but I will be happy to share with you what I have learned and you can check the validity of my findings. They are not based off of random internet sites that are created to attack the catholic church. They are from the bible, reputable history sites, and even the catechism itself. I think it is a good idea to examine other Christian denominations and explore what they believe and compare them to the scriptures to see if they are valid or not. Again please accept my most sincere apology if I have hurt or offended you. It truly was not my intention. God bless you.

Who used profanity against Mary? Nowhere in the bible does it say Mary is the queen of heaven and the early church fathers were divided on the subject of calling her the mother of God or Theotokos. It was decided at the council of Epheseus on July 22 431AD and was convened without all of the bishops present. This means that Mary was never called the mother of God or the queen of heaven by Jesus or the apostles. The decision was ultimately made by pope Celestine I. Personally I think it is irresponsible and could be disrespectful to God to make such a claim as to call her the mother of God. She gave birth to Jesus' physical body but Jesus already existed long before her. Mary was created thru Jesus. After Jesus' birth there is nothing mentioned about her teaching to the people or proclaiming the good news. In fact there is barely any mention of her after Jesus' birth. That is because she had already completed her task that God had given her. Her role was to give birth to Jesus. That's it. To say that God's grace came thru her is sharing God's deserved glory as our redeemer. Mary and the apostles did not want any glory for themselves they did their part to give glorify God not themselves. We should respect and admire Mary and the apostles but we should not venerate them above their intended position and certainly not make claims of her being the mother of God.

You leave out that the councils decisions went out to every Church and they all agreed that "this is what has been believed everywhere, always and by all", precisely because not everyone can attend.

Councils don't become Ecumenical because someone says it is... it becomes Ecumenical over time after all agree.

Councils are not called to create new things. They are called to protect original things.

You're free to disagree. It's not dogmatic. Likewise those who believe are free to do so.

Forgive me...

Mary being the mother of God and the queen of heaven was not taught by the apostles. That's why it was decided at the council of Ephesus in 431AD
"That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works." - Beatrice

So you're supposing somebody made up something and everyone went along with it?

Councils are called to affirm "what has been believed everywhere always and by all". In this way, it shuns inovation. But in this case you think the council made up something. Likely someone in a scholastic environment has taught you that.

Are you familiar with the first Christian Icon painted by St. Luke? Something HAS bewn there from the beginning.

Forgive me...

Interesting. I looked that up and it appears the ROC disagrees with the icon being painted by Luke. I am not saying isn't a pretty icon but just stating what has been said about it.

ANOTHER ICON MYTH: ICONS PAINTED BY ST. LUKE
ANOTHER ICON MYTH: ICONS PAINTED BY ST. LUKE
If one begins researching the icons of Mary called chudotvornaya— “wonderworking” — in the Russian Orthodox Church (and there are some in Greek Orthodoxy too, but not nearly as many), one will quickly notice that a number of them are said (with a straight face) to have been painted by St. Luke. Yes, Saint Luke, also known as the Evangelist Luke....................
Not one of the icons attributed to Luke is in a style remotely connected to the 1st century A.D. All are much, much later (and from various later times chronologically). And there is not one bit of scientific analysis dating any one of the number of icons attributed to Luke to the 1st century..........
