Mary was an incredible woman of God. She was indeed blessed. Did you ever read the beattitudes? Jesus teaches that anyone who puts the kingdom of God first is blessed. Indeed, we are all blessed if we are found in Him

The Image of Gold and the Fiery Furnace
1King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feetAramaic sixty cubits high and six cubits wide (about 27 meters high and 2.7 meters wide) wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. I want to start by saying that I believe we are all in the body of Christ (Catholic and protestant). We are called to love each other and build each other up in our relationship with the head of the church (Christ!). Praying to the saints can be idolatry for some, and so can money, and little league and anything else that we allow to get between us and God.******Jesus taught us "when you pray don't babble on and on as the people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again and again." Mathew (6:7) He taught us to pray the "Father" in heaven, and he made it clear that "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30) Scripture teaches that when we do not know what to pray, we can look to the Holy Siprit for help. "And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words." (Romans 8:26) There is not one passage in scripture that tells us to pray to the saints (though there are plenty calling us to pray with each other!) Jesus loved and respected his mother Mary, but he put her in her proper place in Mark 3:33-35. "Jesus replied 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers? Then he looked at those around him and said. These are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." Jesus was without sin, so he was not showing a lack of respect for Mary (standing outside when he said this!). Why pray to people (dead or alive) when we can go to the source in God?
