What makes Maria so important, and inevitable in the Catholic prayer?
How and why Mary is called Mother of God? She was not there at the beginning of time, during the creation, so why the mother of God, and why Catholics pray through it, where it was stated in the bible that God is a channel?
- How do you feel God About Contacting the dead and pray for "honorable ancestors" Maria, San Cristobal, etc?
- Undoubtedly, it was more important than Jose Maria. God chose him to elevate Jesus in a patriarchal society, but Mary is?
- What do you think of prayer, "Ave Maria"? He is praying … adore her and not God?
- Catholic Moms: what prayer to pray when UR sad?
- Why Preach When Born Christians never mention Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Her soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46-55)! Think what that means for a moment.
About Our Lady points straight back to the Father, who is faithful daughter, the son, whose mother is she, and the Holy Spirit who overshadowed her. There is no one in history, whose relationship with God is so complex, they are met, and achingly beautiful as Maria. She is not only the greatest of saints, she is our Mother, as Jesus is our brother and savior. In honor of it, honor Him - and imitate him, as we were warned to honor our parents and imitate Christ, who loved his mother. Our relationship with Mary is a blessed child to a mother who was given to us as Jesus gave to John on the Cross. She is our spiritual Mother (Revelation 12:17 - And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ) and want to pray for us.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
.
Mary is the Mother of God, His Son, because Jesus is God.
Although Mary was not there in the beginning, she is the Mother of God because God enters our world through the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
And yes, this title is biblical, it is in the Gospel according to Luke, Chapter 1, where St. Elizabeth greets her, "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. But why has reached me that the mother of my Lord should visit ** ** I? "
The position as Mother of God is the greatest blessing that could give any of his creatures. Since God gave the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother," God must fulfill his own commandment, and honor his beloved mother. He will not deny requests made by Mary, when they pray to Him on behalf of all souls.
Because she is a mother of Jesus.
wow lol im deep Catholic but I do not think that maybe she is the mother of God, because we believe in God trion. if i no i spell that right? 3 in 1 means, but as the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3 God is 1! so that Jesus is God in the land in a primary is the mother of God! have no idea why pray to saints or his? I guess it is a Catholic? perhaps not as the Lords prayer? lol j / k
"The divine motherhood of Mary":
495 Call in the Gospels "the mother of Jesus, Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit, even before the birth of his son, as" the mother of my Lord. " <Lk 1:43, Jn 2: 1, 19th-25th; cf. Mt 13:55> In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the eternal Son of the Father, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Therefore, the Church confesses that Mary is truly "Mother of God" (Theotokos).
There is no single or simple answer to this question, but I will take a stab at summarizing.
A) As the mother of Jesus is the Chosen Mother of God, she is the mother of Jesus who is in his human nature and because He is God, then we can say that she is the Mother of God.
B) It has a Jewish mother a Jewish child. And if you know something about Jewish mothers, you know this is a lady who gets what she wants and has a good Jewish son who will give you everything you asked. Therefore it makes sense to ask for your help.
C) Jesus gave us through the Apostle John the Beloved as He hung on the cross. "Mother, behold your son. Son, behold your Mother. "And from that time John drove to his house.
D) Because she is so human like us, so she knows that our humanity and therefore, may involve us in human form. Furthermore, as a mother and our mother to boot (see C), we can expect that his "mother" when we need it.
E) does not make sense that for his good work. After all, God made it enjoyable for her than ever I could. He chose to be their mother. Next, since he is a nice Jewish boy (see B), works to "Love me, love my mom." And we do not want to be on your bad side. Nohow no, noway!
I hope this helps.

We share the view of Catholics in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal and Methodist Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When it dies and goes to heaven, do not let this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints. You, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mother Teresa.
As part of this family, you can ask your friends and family here on earth to pray for you. You can also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Andrew, or your deceased grandmother in heaven to pray for you.
Prayer to the saints is communication, not worship.
+ + The Blessed Virgin Mary
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb "(Luke 1:42).
In Luke 1:48, Mary prophesied, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."
A question for Christians who take the Bible literally: Do you call Mary "blessed"? If not, why?
The Hail Mary prayer simply recites passages from the Bible (the Word of God) and asks Mary to pray for us:
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. (These are the words that the angel Gabriel said to Mary, a Bible quote.)
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. (This is Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting, another biblical quotation.)
Santa Maria, (The angel Gabriel said he was full of grace and Elizabeth says he was blessed.)
Mother of God (the Bible says that Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. (A simple request to pray for us.)
Amen.
+ With love in Christ.
The uniqueness of Mary as the Mother of God
Gen. 3:15 - we see from the very beginning that God gives Mary a unique role in salvation history. God says: "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between your seed and her seed." This refers to Jesus (the "wedge") and Mary (the woman). The phrase "his seed" (spermatos) not seen in other parts of Scripture.
Gen 3:15 / Rev. 12:1 - the Scriptures begin and end with the woman fighting satan. This points to the power of the woman with the seed and teaches us that Jesus and Mary are the new Adam and the new Eve.
John 2:4, 19:26 - Jesus calls Mary "woman" as it is called the general in 3:15. Just as Eve was the mother of creation of age, Mary is the mother of the new creation. This woman will crush the serpent's seed head.
Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23 - a virgin (the Greek word used is "Parthena") will bear a son named Emmanuel, meaning "God is with us." John 1:14 - God in the flesh dwelling among us. Mary is the Virgin Mother of God.
Matt. 2:11 - Luke stresses Jesus with Mary his mother, and the wizards before dropping them, worshiping Jesus.
Luke 1:35 - the child will be called holy, the Son of God. Mary is the Mother of the Son of God, or Mother of God (Theotokos).
Luke 1:28 - "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you." These are the words spoken by God and given to us by the angel Gabriel (who is a messenger of God). Therefore, when Catholics recite this verse while praying the Rosary, are uttering the words of God.
Luke 1:28 - Also, the phrase "full of grace" is translated from the Greek word "kecharitomene. This is a unique title given to Mary, and suggests a perfection of the grace of a past event. Mary is not only "heavily favored". She has been perfected in God's grace. "Full of Grace" is used only to describe a person - Jesus Christ in John 1:14.
Luke 1:38 - Mary fiat is "let them do to me according to your word." Mary is the perfect model of faith in God and is worthy of our veneration.
Luke 1:42 - "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." The phrase "blessed among women who are" really means "you are most blessed of all women" . A circumlocution is used because there is no superlative in the Greek language. Note also that Elizabeth praises Mary first, and then Jesus. This is hyperdulia (Latvia, but is not the worship owed to God). We can also go through Mary to praise Jesus. Finally, Catholics repeat these divinely inspired words of Elizabeth in the Rosary.
Luke 1:43 - Elizabeth the use of "Mother of my Lord" (in Hebrew, Elizabeth used "Adonai" which means Lord God) is the equivalent of "Holy Mary, Mother of God" that Catholics pray in the Rosary. The formula is simple: Jesus is a divine person, and this person is God. Mary is the mother of Jesus, so Mary is the Mother of God (Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus' human nature - mothers are the mothers of the people, not nature).
Luke 1:44 - Mary's voice causes John the Baptist to leap for joy at the heart of Isabel. Luke tells us that Mary is our powerful intercessor.
Luke 1:46 - Mary says that his soul magnifies the Lord. This is a bold statement of a young Jewish girl from Nazareth. His statement is a strong testament to its uniqueness. Mary, our Mother and intercessor, increases our prayers.
Luke 1:48 - Mary prophesies that all generations call blessed, like the Catholics in the "Ave Maria" prayer. The Protestant churches that have existed in all generations (none), and how many of them to call Mary blessed with special prayers and devotions?
Gal. 4:4 - God sent his Son, born of a woman, to redeem. Mary is the woman with the redeemer. Calling Mary co-redemptrix, simply by calling Mary "the woman with the redeemer." This is because "co" is the latin word "***" means "with". Therefore, co-redemptrix "means" woman with the Redeemer. " Maria had a subordinate role only, but Jesus in salvation.
Eph. 1:1, Phil. 1:1, Col. 1:2 - the word "saints" (in Hebrew "qaddiysh") means "holy" ones. This is called Santa Maria, the largest of all the San.
Luke 2:35 - Simeon prophesies that a sword will also pierce Mary's soul. Mary thus plays an important role in our redemption. While the suffering of Jesus all that was necessary for redemption, God wanted Mary to participate in a subordinate role in the suffering of her Son, as it allows us to participate through our own suffering.
Luke 2:19,51 - Mary kept in mind all these things, and pondered it in his heart. Catholics involved in this recall Immaculate Heart of Mary and all the treasures and wisdom and knowledge contained therein.
God responds to our wishes and subordinates Mediation / intercessory prayer
1 Tim 2:1-2 - because Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5), many Protestants deny the Catholic belief that the saints on earth and in heaven can mediate our name. But before the teaching of Paul about Jesus as a "mediator," Paul urges supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be for everyone. Paul is therefore appealing to the mediation of others besides Christ, the only mediator. Why?
1 Tim 2:3 - because this subordinate mediation is good and acceptable to God our Savior. Because God is our Father and we are His children, God invites us to participate in the role of Christ as mediator.
1 Tim. 2:5 - therefore, although Jesus is the only mediator between God and man, there are many intercessors (subordinate mediators).
1 Cor. 3:9 - God invites us to participate in the work of Christ because we are God's "fellow workers" and a family in the body of Christ. God wants his children to participate. The term used to describe "fellow workers" is sunergoi "which literally means, synergists, or cooperators with God in salvific matters. God does not need co-workers? Of course not, but this shows how much of Him as the Father loves his children. God wants us to work with him.
Mark 16:20 - this is another example of how the Lord worked with them "(" sunergountos). God cooperates with us. His eternal love, inviting our participation.
Rom. 8:28 - God "in the works for the good" (the Greek is "eis sunergei Agathon") those who love Him. We work as subordinate mediators.
2 Cor. 6:1 - "working together" (the Greek is "sunergountes") with him, do not accept his grace in vain. God allows us to participate in its work, because it does not need our help but because He loves us and wants us to exalt His Son. It's like the father who allowed his son join him in carrying groceries into the house. The father does not need help, but the child is invited to help raise the child in dignity and love.
Heb. 12:1 - the "cloud of witnesses" (NEPhA marturon), which are surrounded by a large amphitheater witnessed the race from the earth, and actively participate and encourage us (the riders), in our race to salvation.
1 Peter 2:5 - we are a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices to God instructions. Therefore, under the head priest priests, but priests who participate in Christ's work of redemption.
Rev. 1:6, 5:10 - Jesus made us a kingdom of priests to God. Priests intercede through Christ on behalf of the people of God.
James 5:16, Proverbs 15:8, 29 - the prayers of the righteous (the saints) have powerful effects. For this reason, we ask your prayers. How much more powerful are the saints in heaven prayers, in which justice has been perfected.
1 Tim 2:5-6 - therefore, it is because Jesus Christ is the only mediator before God that we can be subordinate mediators. Jesus is the reason. The Catholic position thus gives more glory to Jesus. He does everything but loves us so much He desires our participation.
Because she is the Virgin Mother of Jesus and intercede to help you if you pray through it.

God bless.
Because Jesus is God and Jesus Maria. Friend I am a Christian and can not continue that.
Mary is important in the Catholic religion, as the first and largest organized church, which competed with the pagans who worship the Goddess and God. She bridges the gap for them. She is the Goddess Catholic followers with miracles and dedicated to it and everything. She left her husband and children behind for others to follow in his older son. There must be something slightly disfunctional there … what a strained marriage.
