The One True Faith : Mary, Mother of the Church

[Bruce99100]

I am praying to St. Michael to protect this defender of the faith. Anyone who loves Our Lady as passionately as he does will be under direct attack from Satan.

[rafyraf100]

heresy!!!!! the woman is the church fool!!!

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@rafyraf100 The woman gives birth to a child who will rule the nations with a rod of iron and is hunted by the dragon - who is that child? That child is CHRIST. And the Mother of Christ is .... anyone? Anyone?

That's right, Mary! The woman is the mother of the Messiah, obviously so. The Ark of the Covenant, carrying the Word of God in her womb.

Also, given the fact the Church Fathers & those taught by the apostles agree with me, you've got a lot more important people than me to call fool.

[rafyraf100]

@SaintMichaelsMedia wrong again!!!

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@rafyraf100 I wasn't going to allow this comment (it's clear you aren't here to make sensible comments or have a discussion) but as I was going to your channel to block you I noticed something. More on that later. However; you just say "wrong again"? That isn't an argument, you need to make a case. You aren't going to get far with that kind of intellectual vapidity.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@rafyraf100 About your channel; on there you have a LOT of subscribers whose videos are horrifically sexist & risk inspiring lust. Lust is a sin. You are promoting videos and channels which advocate lust, sexual promiscuity & treat women as objects rather than creatures made in the image and likeness of God.

Sexual sins are very serious; a dangerous source of temptation. If you are a Christian, please take steps to rectify your promotion of immorality and avoid temptation.

[crafter111]

gmussina,so rather than honour the one chosen from all eternity to bring the Saviour into this world you choose to cast dispersions on Her,so Jesus the sinless and pefect Son of God chose to lie in the womb of a sinner for 9mths did He? what an insult to the holy plan of God, this God who detests sin lived in a sinful womb what an heresy!

[willthacheerleader18]

Hail Mary,

Full of Grace,

The LORD is with Thee.

Blessed art Thou among women,

and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now & in the hour of our death.

Amen.

[gmussina]

Mary was not Holy like Michael Voris or other Catholics say she was. Mary states in Luke 1:46-47 "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."

Mary is a sinner. Holy people do not need a Savior, sinners do. She was the mother of Jesus in the flesh. she is not the mother of God. mother of God implies greater than God or before God.

Catholics can honor Mary without giving her these unbiblical titles. honor her for saying yes to God's will.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

Mary was saved BEFORE she sinned - but she was still saved.

>> She was the mother of Jesus in the flesh. she is not the mother of God.

So, Jesus in the Flesh was not God? Because that is what you are saying - if Mary is the mother of Jesus in the Flesh but she is not the mother of God, then you must be saying Jesus is not God.

>> Catholics can honor Mary without giving her these unbiblical titles

I will give her the same Biblical title Saint Elizabeth does; MOTHER OF MY LORD.

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@SaintMichaelsMedia Amen .but see the problem is many indiviuals dont read or research and their minds have been made to turn to mush..so love leave them and let God and his son deal with them..peace..

[EruditeWarrior]

@gmussina

Mary was the mother of Jesus.

Jesus is God.

Mary is the mother of God.

[baredd79]

@gmussina Mary, too, required a Savior. Like all other descendants of Adam, she was subject to the necessity of contracting original sin. But by a special intervention of God, undertaken at the instant she was conceived, she was preserved from the stain of original sin and its consequences. She was therefore redeemed by the grace of Christ, but in a special way—by anticipation. The mother of the Christ did not lust after other men.

[ChrisDaron]

@gmussina How about you Protestants honor her, too? AT LEAST for giving birth to your Lord? No? too much to ask?

[RedBloodedShqiponja]

God Bless. Great explanations in the video.

[amycrandell]

Thank you Michael for educating others about what we as Catholics really believe...not the lies that are propagated about our faith, especially by so-called former Catholics. Those are the most painful. I ask God the Father for his protection to be on you and your ministry. Thanks again.

[nilofc]

Jesus fulfilled the commandments.

The first commandment in terms of human relations is to honor thy mother and father.

Kaboda = honor = to bestow glory.

Second point, we are called to imitate Christ.

If Christ honored His mother...then why can't we?

The bible says..."All generations shall call me blessed..." if these people do not honor Mary....then they are not fulfilling bible prophecy.

[prideandprejudice21]

the catholic church teaches about the immaculate conception of Mary and as a catholic I support it . The church also teaches that Mary is the most perfect creature but in the bible jesus says that only GOD is good-perfect and also according to the bible all have sinned. Could you give me an answer, thank you

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> The church also teaches that Mary is the most perfect creature but in the bible jesus says that only GOD is good-perfect

Mary is the most perfect CREATURE. Jesus is not a creature, He is the CREATOR. He is infinitely greater than Mary, but Mary is the greatest creature.

>> also according to the bible all have sinned

That is hyperbole - because ALL would mean Jesus too (it does not say "all except Jesus") and we know Jesus did not sin. It is an exageration for effect.

[Marilyn5561]

Can you please give a scripture that states Mary being the most perfect Creature? If there isn't a scripture you shouldn't be teaching this because then you are decieving people.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

Your comment assumes sola scriptura, which is a lie. So, YOU are deceiving people!

But, in any case - the Scripture makes it very clear Mary bore God in her womb. Which creature, pray tell, is closer to perfection than the one creature chosen from all others to bear God in the flesh?

[nilofc]

What about the Angelic Salutation of Gabriel who stand before God.

Kecharitomene. HAIL FULL OF GRACE.

[nilofc]

Before the fall, Eve was never named...she was just simply called "woman".

Now, did Jesus ever called Mary with her first name? Guess what.... He called her..."woman"

[EruditeWarrior]

@Marilyn5561

Luke 1:28 - "Rejoice so highly favored" / "Hail full of grace".

Luke 1:42 - "Blessed art thou amongst women."

Luke 1:48 - "All generations shall call me blessed."

[nilofc]

@SaintMichaelsMedia

True that is a hyperbole. I mean... can anyone really say that children who were baptized but died before the age of reason or baptized christians who are mentally challenged and are not culpable of sin.....sinners?

There are a lot of sinless people walking around us. I wanna see someone prove to me these people are sinners based from that verse.

Original sin, by the way, is not a personal sin. It is the lack of sanctifying grace.

Nope they are not. They are

[angelamwatts]

As he was dying on the cross, Jesus gave his mother to us, not just to St. John, but to all of us. She is the new Eve who brought forth our savior, and shared the journey of Jesus life with him. She has always been our mother. No one needs any credentials to be loved and cared for by Mary. She is mother to us all, at Jesus request and by her own choice.

[jofo817]

Since the Apostle John was known as the Apostle of "Love" its no wonder that The Lord Jesus Christ gave "Mary" to him (the church) at the cross.

make sense ?

[nilofc]

Just look at how the author named John at the foot of the cross...."The beloved disciple...." ..He was never named "John"....why?

hmmm...maybe because Jesus...was referring to him as a representative of all the disciples of Christ.

"The discple of Christ"...that means....you and me...who are disciples of Christ.

Makes sense?

[jofo817]

The Devil Hates the Catholic Church then, right ?

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> The Devil Hates the Catholic Church then, right ?

Absolutely he does.

[fateupagainstyourwil]

Big time.

[Marilyn5561]

The devil hates all believers......

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

And because the Catholic Church believe most perfectly, the Devil hates her more than anything else.

[oieajeqhqo]

"But she is the highest of all creatures" In love... Are you kidding me........??? Jesus says of John the Baptist :"I tell you with certainty, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist." Matthew 11:11. I say this in love..this is irrefutable.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Jesus says of John the Baptist :"I tell you with certainty, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist."

Jesus was born of woman too - so (according to you) John is greater than Jesus. Are you a Mandean? :)

OR ... it could be that bit of the Bible is exagerating and that the correct interpretation is what the VAST majority of Christians have believed since BEFORE the Bible was written!

This is what the Catholic Church believes.

[Zigguret]

If Mary is the One in Revelation 12, then there is a problem with the human traditional teaching of the Immaculate Conception. Since in Revelation she cries out in pain,that is a sign of the adamic Curse. Furthermore it's refrencing Israel, Which Rome seems to hate alot. Repent and Turn to Jesus Christ.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Since in Revelation she cries out in pain,that is a sign of the adamic Curse.

Not at all - the actual words of Genesis are "INCREASE your pains"; not make pains.

>> Furthermore it's refrencing Israel

Not according to the vast majority of Christians. But, of course, YOU are right and the Church Fathers were wrong....

>> Which Rome seems to hate alot.

An absolutely flat lie and slander I don't even need to dignify with a response.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Repent and Turn to Jesus Christ.

A very good idea - you had better start doing just that.

[Zigguret]

Genesis 3:16 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

"Sorrow" in Hebrew is the word. "itstsabown" Which means pain, labour, hardship, sorrow. So You're whole word difference of Pain and sorrow is not adequate.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Which means pain, labour, hardship, sorrow.

Very well - so either the pains are INCREASED ... or the Bible doesn't speak about labor pains being a result of the Fall at all. So, in either case, you are wrong.

[Truthknower]

Greetings! in the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High.

Mary is the mother of the Son of God but not the mother of God. Therefore the catholic church has erred in vision and stumble in judgment.

God bless you always! in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Marquest Burton

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Mary is the mother of the Son of God but not the mother of God.

The Son of God is Jesus Chrsit. Jesus Christ is God the Son, not merely Son of God but not God Himself. Jesus is God. If Mary is His mother, then she is the mother of God.

It's very hard to err or stumble when something is that obvious.

[flameboy1236]

Jesus is God truthknower

[dscsasjs2007]

The blessed virgin mary whom i love very much is not the "Highest of all" and i`m not out to hurt anyone here, infact God`s word says "Blessed art thou AMONG woman" not above women nor is she omnipresent to here peoples prayers or have the authority or power to forgive sins. It simply is not in the word of God.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> The blessed virgin mary is not the "Highest of all"

She is the woman chosen among ALL OTHER women to be the mother of God. I don't know how you get that she's not the highest of humans.

>> nor is she omnipresent to here peoples prayers or have the authority or power to forgive sins.

She can't forgive sins - who said she could? She can, however, hear all prayers - she is in Heaven. All things are possible with God.

[6500579]

Makes no sense.. why should she waste her time to hear prayers when she cant answer them? Nor can she do anything about it. Please learn the fact that she's not the highest creature... she is human like me and you

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> why should she waste her time to hear prayers when she cant answer them?

Given the fact the prayers are "pray with us", sure she can answer them.

>> she is human like me and you

She's most certainly NOT like you and I. She was chosen among ALL WOMEN to be the Mother of God! It was from her that Jesus got His flesh with which He redeemed the universe.

Name ONE creature who is more important than that.

[6500579]

And what you think you aint chosen to do something just as great? You dont feel you arent chosen to lead the people to truth and not to a lie... tell me in the bible where she is not filled with sin... like it says in the bible.. we all fall short. even her. unless there is a thing like this (except mary) then yes you are right

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> And what you think you aint chosen to do something just as great?

I am quite certain that neither I nor anyone else is going to bear the Messiah in their womb.

>> tell me in the bible where she is not filled with sin

Gabriel calls her "Full of Grace". And if you are full of something, there isn't room for anything else. And grace is the opposite of sin.

The Bible says "all have sinned"; does that refer to Jesus too? Or is it a case of exageration & it doesn't really mean all?

[nilofc]

True. I don't know why these people really thinks that the womb that will bear the second person of the Blessed Trinity will be touched by the finger of satan.

She is without sin. If you think she did...then you are ultimately mocking God for God and sin can never be in the same place. Sin will always run away.

Nothing is greater than God.

[adamcarp83]

@nilofc Mary was a SINNER. In Luke 1:47 Mary says, " And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." A perfect, sinless individual would not need a Savior.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

@adamcarp83 I have answered this elswhere, but you have shown you are unwilling to even address the replies to your own comments, so . . .

Mary is saved by Jesus' sacrifice in a more perfect way than us - she is saved BEFORE her conception, and is saved from the stain of original sin.

Read all the comments for this video - the explaination is made a number of times.

[6500579]

More important than her...? well lets see... we are just importan.. because Christ came to die for both us and mary... Mary to has a debt to pay

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> More important than her...? well lets see... we are just importan..

Do you mean to say that we are as important in God's plan of salvation as the woman He used to be born? The woman who gave Him the flesh He used to redeem the world?

You have either not thought about this, are an idiot, or are supremely arrogant.

[Marilyn5561]

AMEN!

[mexus23]

mother of GOD ? since god have a mother can u find us his father please?

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> mother of GOD ?

Yes. Jesus is God. Mary is the mother of Jesus. Therefore, Mary is the mother of God. Can you spot a logical flaw in there, please?

>> since god have a mother can u find us his father please?

Of course. Jesus is God, and His father is the Father. God the Father. The First Person of the Blessed Trinity is the father of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity - the Son, Jesus.

[nilofc]

The term the Mother of God has nothing to do with God's origination. For God is infinite.

The Catholic Church condemns this view. Study up.

[GSRsolid]

The One True Faith Roman Catholic church

[browntuka]

This is rubbish!Jesus did not call upon his mother to save him!Jesus ALWAYS prayed for his FATHERS WILL to be done.Jesus not only came to DIE for our sins,BUT he also came to SHOW US HIS FATHER.He said if youve seen me youve seen the FATHER!!We are only a few years away from WITNESSING JESUS's 2nd coming,and if you continue to blind the people with you deceit,GOD will make you drink from his WRATH that is poured out without mixture..You dont believe me? Just wait a few more years,AND U WILL SEE!

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> We are only a few years away from WITNESSING JESUS's 2nd coming

Of course, the Second Coming can easily be predicted by a person WHO WRITES sections of his messages ENTIRELY IN CAPITALS - although Jesus said that He Himself did NOT know the day or time.

Can you please articulate the elements of what we are saying that are deceitful? I'd like solid references from the Bible / Church Fathers etc. please

[6500579]

He knows... wow... if he's the one coming then he knows.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

Mark 13:32 - Jesus specifically says that He doesn't know.

You really need to read your Bible a little more closely :)

[2812608584]

how do u know that it will be in a few years and u better listen to this wat u call rubish or u will be driking the wrath of god for the catholic church is the only true faith no other that our church was founded by christ not by rebellions in modern times when protestantism began so browntuka think about it and pray to jesus and stop disrespecting his mother !!!!!

[considerthis215]

hey ive almost finished ready the NT, i accept that she was assumed into heaven, but so far i havent seen anything from scripture that she did.. also why isnt the didache (i hope i spelt it right) part of the bible? god bless :)

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> i accept that she was assumed into heaven, but so far i havent seen anything from scripture that she did.

Try the opening of Rev 12 :)

>> also why isnt the didache part of the bible?

Simply because the early Church councils decided against putting it in there.

[considerthis215]

Rev12 oh ok.... that explains it(not there yet hehe)...

the decided against it? Ive only taken a brief look over it (an online version from the online catholic encyclopedia) now i may be wrong.. but if it were part of the original bible, there would have been no division, doesnt it specifically mention the eucharist and confession and the pope? (i may be wrong i havent read it in a while) is there any more details why it wasnt added? i mean it was the written teachings of the original disciples

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> is there any more details why it wasnt added? i mean it was the written teachings of the original disciples

Very true. For whatever reason, it was not included. It was included in a number of canons, but not in the final list. It was to be read - just not aloud at Mass.

[nilofc]

In Revelation 12...the bible says.... "Head" "Feet"...hmmmm.... those are parts of the body. If protestants thinks of this hard enough...they will get this.

[boyetalviola]

St. Michael the Archangel protect the Original Christian Church which is the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church from the evil of Heresy. Amen.

[jofo817]

Mary is and was the literal "Mother" of the Body of Jesus Christ who is God. Then Mary is also the "mother" of the Church/Bride.

Jesus Christ publically told the Apostle John that Mary is his (John's)Mother

[PrincesssDaisy]

22: And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom

Which clearly refers to the transition of his soul into Heaven. Then again, what if it DOES mean that this poor man was assumed into Heaven like Elijah and Mary and so forth? I mean - where in the Bible does it say that ONLY the people specifically referenced as being assumed were assumed? Sola Scriptura cuts both ways, Princess . . .

[PrincesssDaisy]

The Bible is the only inspired word of God. I am completely convinced of that. It contains all that we need to know in order to know how to spend eternity with God and how to live on this earth in the meantime. It is sufficient and it says so by the words not to add or take away any Yod or tittle. Also Yeshua said that. I go by His word. Not yours

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> The Bible is the only inspired word of God. I am completely convinced of that.

And so am I. I never said it wasn't, nor that there are other inspired Scriptures.

>> It is sufficient and it says so by the words not to add or take away any Yod or tittle.

Jesus says that about the Law, not the scriptures. You need to learn your Bible better. Even if it DID say that, then that doesn't mean it is sufficient - it just means we shouldn't change it (as Martin Luther did . . .)

[PrincesssDaisy]

the most holy, 'the mother of God'... 'she is the highest of all creatures' ... the first and best ... the woman of genesis and revelations ... what book doe you read ??

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> what book doe you read ??

The Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers. You'll find that Mary is called "the Mother of [our] Lord" in the Bible and that she is visited by the Trinity and chosen to be the mother of Jesus (which no-one else is). So, who else could be the greatest creation, but the creature God chose to incarnate inside? As for the Woman of Genesis and Revelation - well, you'd need to read the Church Fathers to find that. Or, read the Bible yourself. It's pretty obvious.

[PrincesssDaisy]

Because I only use the bible as Authority over my life we will have to do with that. Pleas explain : And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Because I only use the bible as Authority over my life we will have to do with that

Whoa there, Princess! You don't get to dictate what we do & do not use!

Before we decide to go with sola scriptura, you have to justify that; as you are arguing for sola scriptura ("scripture alone") you need to ONLY use scripture to show that scripture is sufficient.

You need to do it without creating a circular argument. Dunno how you are going to do that, but I'm more than willing to see if you can.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Because I only use the bible as Authority over my life we will have to do with that. Pleas explain

Just as a matter of interest; if the Bible is the only authority you accept, why are you asking ME? :) Can't you just ask the Bible?

Oh, right - you can't. Because the Bible doesn't self-interpret - the Bible has to be interpreted by someone! So, you are interpreting the Bible yourself. Which you aren't permitted to do - the Bible itself is very clear on that in II Peter 1:20

[PrincesssDaisy]

I have an opinion about that woman in Revelations, but that is not Mary. The Holy Spirit will help me to find the correct answers, but my question is legitimate right? You believe that Mary you'all can ask her to pray for you and others, to ask her Son. I think that is paganism. Praying to spirits of the dead is not by the will of YHWH. (Leviticus 19:31 - Isaiah 8:19)

I think the answer on the Revelation woman is 'Israel'

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> I have an opinion about that woman in Revelations

Which is lovely. It's YOUR opinion. Tell me why anyone should listen to you rather than the Church which actually wrote the Bible?

>> The Holy Spirit will help me to find the correct answers

The Holy Spirit by that theory will help everyone - strange that there are 35,000 different interpretations. Is the Holy Spirit having an off-day? :)

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> I think the answer on the Revelation woman is 'Israel'

She can certainly be interpreted as that, but a better interpretation and a more complete one is Mary. Mary bore Jesus - which is what the woman in Revelation does. She's also the Ark of the Covenant typologically.

And prayer to Saints isn't paganism - it is historic Christianity which dates to the apostolic period. The writings of the very first Christians (writings which, in some cases, are older than the Bible) prove that.

[PrincesssDaisy]

please give me one bible text where I can read that praying to a saint is ok. Praying to the dead is wrong and Mary is dead. She was a blessed woman, nothing more, nothing less. And aren't all believers in Christ 'saints?' as children of the Most High are called 'saints' many times in the NT

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> please give me one bible text where I can read that praying to a saint is ok

You still haven't given me a single Bible verse which supports sola scriptura. I just call that rude.

But, how about the parable of the rich man and Lazarus? Where the rich man asks Abraham to send Lazarus to help him when he is in torment? That is a prayer to a saint, isn't it? That's asking a saint to ask another saint to help! You'll find that parable in Luke 16.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> She was a blessed woman, nothing more, nothing less.

She is the Mother of God. God INCARNATED IN HER WOMB. No-one else in the history of the Universe can claim that distinction. She is certainly "more" than just blessed.

>> And aren't all believers in Christ 'saints?' as children of the Most High are called 'saints' many times in the NT

They are "saints" in that they are holy (which is what saint means) but they are not saints in the formal sense of the word (a citizen of Heaven)

[PrincesssDaisy]

I am not rude, I accept the bible as only Authority in my life, and the Holy Spirit that will help me to find answers. In scripture. If it is not to find inthere, it is not important enough to know. a parabel is not 'real' but just to explain something, you should know that

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> I accept the bible as only Authority in my life. If it is not to find inthere, it is not important enough to know.

Which means that you should be able to cite scripture which says that scripture is sufficient - not essential, not holy, not good, but SUFFICIENT. So far, you haven't done that. So forgive me if I think you are wrong.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> a parabel is not 'real' but just to explain something, you should know that

So that means we can discard words said by Jesus if they don't fit with what we like? That's a little . . . dangerous, don't you think? Most of what we know of Hell comes from parables. Jesus clearly shows someone praying to Abraham and Abraham doesn't rebuke him for it. Abraham could have said "Don't ask me! Ask God!" but he didn't. Why doesn't Jesus say that? Answer - because it's perfectly okay to pray to saints

[PrincesssDaisy]

he was talking to Abraham, not praying, but we can conclude that is the same. That this is a parable is also shown that Abraham was carried into heaven, no one entered heaven so far, except Yeshua. Further, if they were 'real' and not in parable, they were allowed to talk to each other, because they were both in the same state. Both dead.

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> That this is a parable is also shown that Abraham was carried into heaven, no one entered heaven so far, except Yeshua

Actually, Elijah entered Heaven physically. And the parable doesn't say that Abraham was carried up - it says that Abraham went to Heaven after he was dead! That is what happens to the righteous - they go to Heaven!

You say they are "dead" - no, the dead are alive in Christ. They are not "dead" in the sense of being unable to do anything.

[nilofc]

Show me where in the bible does it say that Saints are dead?

Isn't God the God of the Living?

[rcporras]

@PrincesssDaisy the bible is not the authority my dear. scriptures says that. if you want to follow the bible making it your authority means you are not following it. Christ establish a visible Church, the Catholic Church.. Peace..

[nilofc]

If you believe that the bible is the only authority in your life...then.... you somehow accept that authority of the Catholic Church. It was int 3rd century that a synod of Catholic Bishops (not a synod of protestant pastors) which defined the books of the bible.

But then again... who is your authority again? A book or the mystical body of Christ?

[NewPassover]

And the crown of twelve stars. Black and white can sometimes nullify the scriptures I guess. We need a narrator to exclaim CROWN OF TWELVE STARS. We could never say she was JUST humble Mary. Humble yes. That is why God deemed to crown her. If she is Queen who are her people? You and I my friend. HAIL HOLY QUEEN!

[NewPassover]

Does not, "my soul doth magnify the Lord" mean God's glory is shown through Mary, him creating her for this purpose?

[2812608584]

thats true u know your faith that is good

[triathlete540]

Well, we should actually ONLY pray to The Father. Jesus Himself says in Matthew 5:16, which reads,

"But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> Well, we should actually ONLY pray to The Father. Jesus Himself says in Matthew 5:16, which reads . . .

And does not contain the word "only"! Would you like to "do a Luther" and add the word "alone" in there? :)

[triathlete540]

I would never want to add to Scripture. Can you point out to me in any Scripture verse that teaches we should pray to anyone but God?

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

>> I would never want to add to Scripture.

So you are, of course, happy to admit that you were wrong in saying that Matthew 5:16 suggests we should pray ONLY to the Father?

>> Can you point out to me in any Scripture verse that teaches we should pray to anyone but God?

Yes, of course - how about a time when someone does pray to someone other than God? In Luke 16 we see the rich man praying to Abraham and entreating Abraham to send another person in Heaven to help him.

[VOORHEES320]

even martin luther agreed with the high position of mary

[Leeviten]

We should ONLY pray to the Lord JESUS CHRIST!

[SaintMichaelsMedia]

That's funny. I distinctly recall Jesus telling us to pray to THE FATHER, you know .. as in .. OUR FATHER, who art in heaven.

[1nviaggio]

Yes, in fact, don't our Catholic prayers end in THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord since NO ONE gets to the Father but through Jesus.

[2812608584]

thats right they need to learn more about us catholics before they go and tell us we are wrong

[ForeGiven]

Holy Mary, this lowly protestant thanks you and St. Michael for all the blessings and guidance you have given to me. I pray that all believe and have faith that, with your help, anything is possible. Amen

After viewing the Comments and Responses to these videos, it seems that those youtubers who express anti-Catholic sentiments are not watching these videos. In other words, they raised objections and then when a Catholic apologetic tries to explain things, they don't want to hear it. Does that say something?

The Catholic Church has always taught that Mary needed to be saved, just as every human needs saving.

In the singular case of Mary, God applied the fruits of His Passion to her in anticipation of His Saving Action. To the rest of us, he applied in after His saving action.

God is not bound by time and can dispense his grace whenever and however and to whomever he sees fit.

Jesus honored his mother and father...

Why do so many Protestants find it so difficult to honor them as well?

Jesus so loved his mother and if God in human form so loved his mother why is it so hard for so many to do the same???
