“Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). When Mary visited Elizabeth, Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).

So here we have the first part of the Hail Mary, and here is the second part:

“Why should I be honored with a visit from the mother of my Lord?” (Luke 1:43).

Not currently.

In Revelation 5:8, where John depicts the saints in heaven offering our prayers to God under the form of "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." But if the saints in heaven are offering our prayers to God, then they must be aware of our prayers. They are aware of our petitions and present them to God by interceding for us.

Not Scripturally.
Glad you said "if".

I said if based on what the verse says.

He said to not use vain repetitions. You seem to assume that all other prayers that have some repitition are some in vain. Scripture doesn’t say that. Personally, I don’t say the rosary, but I certainly pray some prayers that aren’t spontaneous. I do both. The book of Psalms is one of my favorite prayer books. Jesus prayed some prayers from Psalms. Was he wrong for doing that? The heathens which Jesus referenced “babbled” empty phrases, thinking that having more words in prayer would be more powerful. That’s the core part of the verse. Don’t just babble meaningless words with the thought that it will make it more powerful. The prayer we pray most in my tradition is “Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner”, while going though knots on a prayer rope. It allows us to pray deeply. It isn’t saying it just to say it. That would be vain repetition - not praying it with the heart. Singing a hymn without meaning it or a worship song without praying it also is vain repetition. Even just spontaneous words of prayer without meaning it or contemplating on it fits the meaning of the babbling Jesus referenced (see the Greek).

ohh sorry bout that was pointing at rosary prayer and hail mary is not a prayer made by even those angels but made by man

 

[proverbs3]

Vain repetitions are when you don’t really mean a prayer. Any prayer or statements exclaimed my God or righteous men and women are to be repeated by us.

i see and come to think of it it was arranged by man it wasn't really made to repeat and hail mary is not even a prayer

was only pointing atm at rosary prayer and nothing else

The present form of the Catholic rosary and it’s organization only dates back to recent times, the Hail Mary prayer is a biblical prayer though.

and it absolutely was the case that ,when the rosary was first created, the instructions were for constant repetition of a single prayer--the Lords Prayer.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Pray to the Creator, not the creation.

Is pray and worship the same?

 

[Landon Caeli]

Are we not allowed to speak to Saints? What about each other?

Yes. "When the angel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, "Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28). When Mary visited Elizabeth, Elizabeth exclaimed, "Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb" (Luke 1:41-42). So here we have the first part of the Hail Mary. St. Bernardine added the name of Jesus, clarifying who the fruit of her womb is."

The form of the rosary has changed many times throughout history, so what is the point being made with this line of analysis or whatever it is?

it's not for me and actually i was just wanting to prove my side is right so i was researching for the right verse in the end i couldn't search for it and ended up abandoning my purpose

but then now that purpose doesn't worth anything i'm just selfish now that i surrendered to God i don't really need to care where he leads me but i still don't considered that the catholic church is right am actually not in any church i was in catholic when i was just a child but i realized they were

today i rembered this verse while i was singing HIS praises maybe it came from him then i remembered this topic maybe i should put it here regarding the mother of christ is in heaven

Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. note

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

9 And when they came that were hiredabout the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,

12 Saying, These last have wrought butone hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. note

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,

18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

bro/sis up to you whatever you believe in after all we are all the same just relying on christ hopefully you forgive me i also forgive you

Just a cautionary comment. Be careful with incense, both it's source and use or intent if you will. You don't want to invite some pagan ritualistic demon into your presence. I assume not anyway. IE you should know what you're doing with it in a Christian way if there even is such a thing. For instance, pagans or white witches would clear their house with sage smoke ( incense), speaking spirits away. That sounds innocent, except the house is now stripped of even protection from our side of the fence. You would do far better to speak the name of Jesus all through your house instead in that case and forget the smoke show. Just an example of what not to do with incense.

You may not realize it but some of these old traditions in churches are throw overs that came right out of paganism.

So carry on, I'm done.

As a Christian why would you be advocating belief in magick and other pagan superstitions?

I was warning them, since the poster seemed to want to do this.. It can go astray quickly was my point. I wasn't advocating doing this.

But they weren't the ones saying that incense can have magickal properties based on who made it or where it was made, or that one can accidentally send away "spiritual protection". Your post was the one saying those things. That is magick and pagan superstition.

Of course, that's the warning, you can use this stuff incorrectly accidentally ! You want to watch where your supply comes from and how it is used etc. There are many companies out there these days that supply this stuff who are new age based or old eastern culture based. Do you want to buy incense from someone who practices Buddhism or some other even worse religion like white or even dark witchcraft and such ? Listen, what does the church do with incense, and lets start with during lent ? They use ( or they did last I knew) incense and cleanse the church of all things spiritual during Holy week going into Good Friday. I can remember walking into the Catholic church ( I was a practicing Catholic for 29 years of my life) during this time and feeling the emptiness there. How about ash Wednesday ? They use ash of burned incense to mark your forehead with the intent or symbolism of showing your Christianity. A funeral ? They chant all around the casket putting up incense smoke . All channeled correctly, it doesn't take much to make the wrong intent with this stuff and all the worse with the wrong unclean supplies. Would you want smoke in your house from incense supplied by a witch ? Would you even want it unburned in your house ?

Why are you on me about this anyway ? I'm not promoting doing it wrong, I'm saying to know what you are doing . And if someone doesn't know what they are doing it might just be best to stay away all together. You seem to be insinuating something else. Why are you doing that ? What exactly is your point ? I'm trying to warn a fellow Christian, what are you doing ?
