DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

971 “All generations will call me blessed”: “The Church’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship.”515 The Church rightly honors “the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of ‘Mother of God,’ to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration.”516 The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an “epitome of the whole Gospel,” express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.517

Catholics do not worship Mary.

Sunday is a day for family. It’s a day to relax, and prepare for the week ahead. Because of this, I have decided not to blog on Sunday’s. Instead, I will post something related to the Catholic Church. The purpose of this is 1) to spend more time with my family, and 2) open some hearts. I know that a lot of people hate the Church, and what she stands for. But maybe, if I post something in an informational manner, it might just open up some hearts; at least create understanding.
