The sentence should only turn to God Almighty.
By the way, Mary did not remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus. The Scriptures clearly discuss the brothers of Jesus.
(Matthew 1:25) [Joseph] did not have sexual relations with [Mary] until she gave birth to a son, and called his name Jesus. [caps added]
(Matthew 13:53-56) Jesus had finished these illustrations went through the country from there. 54 And after entering his home territory, he began teaching in the synagogue, so were amazed and said, "Where does this this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James, Joses, Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters are they not all with us?
(Mark 6:3) This is the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, right? And his sisters are here with us, right?
(Luke 8:19-21) Now [Jesus'] mother and brothers came to him, but were unable to reach him because of the crowd. 20 However, he was informed: "Your mother and your brothers are outside want to see." 21 In reply he said: "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it. "
(John 2:12) After this he [Jesus] and his mother and his brothers and his disciples went to Capernaum, but did not stay there many days.
(John 7:5) he [Jesus] brothers were in fact not exercise faith in him.
(Acts 1:14) In concert, all these were persisting in prayer, along with some women and Mary the mother of Jesus and his brothers.
(1 Corinthians 9:5) the rest of the apostles and [Jesus] the Lord's brothers and Cephas

Accounts do not pray to help us count the prayers said for 10 Hail Mary can be daunting when you forget what the number that you encounter. Prayer, the Hail Mary, is mainly found in the Bible.
"Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you." Archangel Gabriel in Annunciatin.
"Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb," the sister of Mary, when she met with her after the Annunciation

I very much agree with you! I'm not Catholic and feel it is only one of many things that do not follow the Bible. I dont HINK is also fair to have to confess your sins to a priest as in the Catholic faith as the Bible says to confess your sins to the Lord.

All you need is Jesus!
No need:
Rosario
Rituals
Ceremonies
Traditions
A temple
or even a Bible for that matter
Jesus Christ is all you really need to pray to God.

There have been a lot of contradictions that has supported Catholic faithful. The church has emphasized both the sacrifices and including novenas, prayers of the rosary. All practices of Tis not within the teachings of simple sentences in the Bible teaches. Even God himself said his few words. Offerings and sacrifices were commanded by God to the Jews as an atonement for the Evil they have done against God in its early stages. But in the last period that God said it has enough of burnt offerings and sacrifices, and what you need is mercy. The prayer of the rosary was introduced after the miracle of Lourdes, where the three visionaries saw the image of Mary the Mother of Jesus appears before them counting the bills in his fingers. This accounts chains has numbers equivalent to the prayers recited on each occasion. Muslims also have such accounts to recite the names of many of God. I've also seen them do that Hindus and their way of recitation of mantras during meditation and prayer. Not listed on the teachings of the Bible, but most likely only initiated by the religion as a way of offeringss and sacrifices.

I think it is a false teaching. They are not praying to the accounts being used to count and they do because that is what we are taught to do. It is never a good idea to attack the belief of people or method of worship. I was raised Catholic but am no longer a member of the Church because of the lessons that I think are false and man came from God. The truth was revealed to me because I was looking for and I think God is revealed to all who seek him. Each person grows in the knowledge of the Lord at their own pace.

Why the hell are you asking this?!?! The Catholic people will not change their habits just because you think it is heretical / wrong / whatever.
Moreover, Catholics, as well as the love of Mary and the saints, not to worship them. It was put on the same level as God, Jesus, etc. Just to honor and emulate them as great examples of a Spirit-filled life.
And why are you so stupid as to alienate the very people who are more likely to reach an agreement and work with you when it comes to fighting against abortion, marriage between same sex, religion, getting back in government, etc type of work?
Well, I guess their loss is the profit side of my hand!

So who the hell died and made you leader of prayer? people do what they will do the most spiritual sense. Sometimes a little ritual is better than standing there making demands.
