Mary has no power to pray for anyone,to save or to heal.
Let me ask you something kayla girl.... do you talk regularly with your pastor and asks the pastor to pray for you? if so, I'm pretty sure your pastor doesn't turn you away by saying, "Don't talk to me! Don't ask me to pray for you! Go straight to Jesus!" No..I bet your pastor has compassion and "intercedes" (stands in the gap) for him. He prays
for the congregation and for individuals. He has compassion and wants to assist people in their relationship with Christ. This in no way diminishes Jesus' role as the Lord and Saviour.
We Catholics believe heaven is not a "dead" place, and Scripture shows it. We Catholics believe people in heaven are alive. (Mat 19:29, 25:46, 10:17-22, Mk 10:30, Lk 10:25-30, Lk 18:18-30, Jn 3:15-16). Catholics ask Mary to pray to Jesus
for us. Did you know that Mary is a "born again" Christian who received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and spoke in tongues 2000 years before Pentecostals got the gift? (Acts 1:14, 2:3). She knows how to pray kayla, even in tongues!
Many Christians (maybe you) reading this will have had powerful experiences with the Holy Spirit. It is amazing when he comes upon us. Some of us have experienced miraculous healing. But who among us has experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in such a way that the God of the universe became flesh inside us. Mary experienced the Holy Spirit like none of us have. So you see Kayla, In the Rosary, we Catholics ask Mary to "Pray
for us sinners."
We think Mary is totally alive, and is praying for us the way your faithful pastor would pray for you and his congregation, except much more so. She's interceding for the unborn, for mothers contemplating abortion, and for many others who are experiencing sorrows in our world, and who need Jesus.
She was called blessed because she brought the Savior into the world.No where in the bible does Mary have the same qualities as Jesus.She was fully human as we are.
"Was" called Blessed? Are you forgetting Lk.1:48?
Christ died to save her as with all of us.
You are forgetting her Immaculate Conception.
