No, please don't do that.The co in co-redemptrix means co-operate. By saying YES to God, she cooperates with God's plan of salvation. Indeed every time you or I evangelize, we also are cooperating with God's plan of salvation, but in a less pivotal way. We are like little tiny co-redemptrixes. Because her YES was so central to God's plan, she alone gets the formal title of co-redemptrix.
How is it not Biblical to ask for prayers?However, that entails praying to the Saints and Mary in order to make that request. And either way it is not Biblical.
Right. Her YES was essential to God's plan of salvation.Co-Redemptrix is the equivalent of Co-Redeemer/Websters:Redemptrix: a woman whose participation is believed by some Roman Catholics to be essential for the redemption of humanity; specifically: virgin mary
How is it different? Seems exactly the same to me.Praying in agreement with a friend is different than praying to a Saint asking them to bring my requests, needs, etc... to God on my behalf.
She is dead. Were not.How is asking Mary for her prayers any different from asking you for your prayers?
No it doesn't sound like worship to me. It sounds like a love letter. I've highlighted what I want to draw your attention to.
So?She is dead. Were not.
God speaks to me through all sorts of people. Sometimes my priest. Sometimes my brother. Sometimes it's a friend. Sometimes it's Mary.But to go on your line of thought..... We need a dead women to show us Jesus?
How do you know she can't hear our prayers? I disagree. And it is God who answers her prayers.Mary cannot hear, yet alone answer your prayers.
No it's not.So it is offensive to God to pray to dead people.
She was the earthly vessel by which God brought his son into the world.Right. Her YES was essential to God's plan of salvation.
Because there is but one emissary between humanity and God and that is Jesus.How is it different? Seems exactly the same to me.
1 Timothy 2:5 - For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;No it's not.
co as in cooperate. Her YES assisted God in His plan of salvation. When you evangelize, you also assist in the plan of salvation in a smaller way, making you a mini co-redemptrix.That does not in any way make her a co-redeemer. By definition of "Redeemer", there is only one. There is no prefix that applies to any other.
Why can't you unite with Mary in prayer?If I ask my friend Marie to pray with me for the healing of my son, we unite together in the heart of faith in our prayers to God to heal my son.
Asking another Christian to pray for you doesn't usurp Christ's position as mediator.1 Timothy 2:5 - For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Praying to the saints doesn't qualify. Necromancy/Divination requires that you seek esoteric knowledge from the dead, like when Saul asked Samuel for information. We don't do that when we pray to the saints. We only ask for their prayers. We don't ask to hear back from them.or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead,
