Hi. She wasn't given the Power that the Disciples of Jesus were given.
(Young) Luke 10:19 lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents/ofewn and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;
Matt 23:33 `Serpents/ofeiV! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?
Whew!! Glad to hear that.It's not an official teaching of the Church that we all have to be devoted to Mary and figuratively .. go to God through devotion her...
bright candle has nothing to do with the matter.umm, an Encyclical is just a pastoral letter- it's not dogmatic...
This is a belief amoung those who are devoted to Mary. Which apparently this pope was...
It's not an official teaching of the Church that we all have to be devoted to Mary and figuratively .. go to God through devotion her...
you dont want to have devotion to Mary ten don't. and if this speech is extreme- as a Catholic we are free to have that opinion.
Bright Candle doesn't want to tell you that though.. does he?
Pope Pius XII accurately reflected the Church’s view of the Virgin Mary when the Pope stood up to give this following Pontifical prayer, and I quote: “Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast ourselves into your arms, O immaculate mother of Jesus and our mother, Mary we adore and praise the peerless richness of the sublime gifts with which God has filled you above every other mere creature from the moment of conception until the day on which your assumption into heaven He crowned you Queen of the Universe.
O crystal fountain of faith, bathe our hearts with your heavenly perfume. O conqueress of evil and death,inspire in us a deep horror of sin which makes the soul detestable to God and the slave of hell.
O well-beloved of God, hear the ardent cries which rise up from every heart in this year dedicated to you. Then tenderly, O Mary, cover our aching womb, convert the wicked,dry the tears of the afflicted and the oppressed.
Comfort the poor and humble. Quench hatred. Sweeten harshness. Safeguard the flower of purity. Protect the holy Church. In your name resounding harmoniously in heaven, may they recognize that all are brothers and that the nations are members of one family. Receive, O sweet mother, our humble supplications and above all, obtain for us on that day, happy with you that we may repeat before your throne that hymn which is sung today around your altars, you are beautiful, O Mary, you are glory, O Mary, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people,” end quote.
Hi. The Jews of today still view it as a "mystery".Mary is the Mother of God. She carried infinity with in her womb and cared for Him. That alone is a mystery and a gift that was given to Mary. IThus she was given sblime gifts.
And when someone becomes a Christian haven't they conquered death and evil? Aren't they saved?
I me, have victory in Christ, no?Disregarding all the other points, as there is wiggle room there based on understanding, I have to address this one only.
no, no 1000 times no. a Christian does NOT conquer death and evil. We have no part in it's defeat. Christ and Christ alone conquered death. Christ and Christ alone conquered evil.
There is no sidestepping this issue. It is an error, even if it is innocous.
is it your victory? did you acheive it?I me, have victory in Christ, no?
of course not but you don't raise eyebrows when preachers hop around on stage screaming we have won the victory do you? Nor do you freak out when you hear "I" rebuke you..." We have been given power from on high, no? To conquer evil? no? ...yes, we have.is it your victory? did you acheive it?
Victory!!!! No Mary shown here.of course not but you don't raise eyebrows when preachers hop around on stage screaming we have won the victory do you? Nor do you freak out when you hear "I" rebuke you..." We have been given power from on high, no? To conquer evil? no? ...yes, we have.
Don't you think I would know if i worshipped Mary?
You've been duped.
I disagree.her and everyone else.. my husband, my parents...
You are the one who need some food for thought.
No its not true and I have to try and tell myself that you just have no clue how drastically different we see things.
You ave made up your own criteria that you gauge everything and it's highly subjective and not at all objective.
I'm sorry but you cant convict me off of your lack of understanding Catholicism properly and your own interpretation of worship.
Food for thought:You are the one who need some food for thought.
you must have a strange misunderstanding of how my church operates, if you have a picture of a screaming, hopping, pastor.of course not but you don't raise eyebrows when preachers hop around on stage screaming we have won the victory do you? Nor do you freak out when you hear "I" rebuke you..." We have been given power from on high, no? To conquer evil? no? ...yes, we have.
hate to be a stickler for detail, but the highlighted bit has zero evidence beyond RCC dogma.Per the OP:
You have to understand the difference between congruous merit and condign merit.
God is the ultimate source of all holiness--the codign source. Mary, through her participation in the work of our redemption and then through her constant intercession for the Church, she obtains for us the grace we need for holiness (that has been merited in a condign manner by her Son) and is therefore the source in a congruous manner.
(I hope I got the two terms correct--sometimes I get them backwards :o ).
