Why Are Catholics Unable To Admit That, Yes, They Do Pray To Mary As Official Vatican Teaching Commands Them To Do?

Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and give her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican

Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican

In the interest of full disclosure, I was a Catholic for the first 30 years of my life. I was baptized as a baby, received “first holy communion”, was “confirmed”, spent 3 years as an altar boy in St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes, NJ, and in total was educated in the Catholic school system for 12 long years. Part of our Catholic training was learning how to pray to the Virgin Mary. Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican. Every other Catholic school or church I ever visited in 30 years did likewise. So with all that being said, why am I constantly hearing Catholics denying that they pray to Mary?

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12 (KJV)

One reason for this, I suppose, is because prayer to anyone who is not God, who is not part of the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit –  is blasphemy. So Catholics are taught to play “word games”, ala Bill Clinton, and get you debating the difference between praying to someone and simply “venerating” them. But as you will see below, this is nothing more than linguistic hogwash. Catholics absolutely do pray to Mary, and worst of all, they look to her for salvation!

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8,9 (KJB)

CLICK TO READ ABOUT THE DAY THAT MARY WORSHIP BECAME OFFICIAL CHURCH DOCTRINE

But we shall let the words of some of the official, Vatican-approved Catholic prayers to Mary speak for themselves. There are hundreds of Catholic prayers to Mary, I just simply did a search and picked the first 4 at random. Read and decide for yourself:

  • The Memorare To Mary: “REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.” source
  • Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help: O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.” source
  • Hail, Holy Queen: “Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.” source
  • Prayer To Our Lady, Help Of Christians: Most Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children, how can you, the most loving of all mothers forget me? Grant then to me, I implore you,  your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your unceasing help for all who are now suffering. Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your intercessions many vocations to the religious life.  Obtain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having invoked you on earth we may love and eternally thank you in heaven.” source

On January 1, 2014, during the Roman Catholic Feast of the Mother of God, Pope Francis declared the following to be true about Mary:

“The Mother of the Redeemer precedes us continually and confirms us in the faith, in the vocation and in the mission. With her example of humility and of availability to the will of God, she helps us to translate our faith in a joyful announcement of the gospel without frontiers. In this way our mission will be fruitful, because it is modelled on the maternity of Mary. To her we entrust our itinerary of faith, the desires of our heart, our necessities, the needs of the whole world, especially the hunger and the thirst for justice and peace; and we invoke her all together.”

Have you ever look to see the references to the Queen of Heaven in the Bible?

So as you can clearly see, not only does the Vatican teach it’s followers to pray to Mary, they have put her in place of Jesus Christ, to provide as they say “the needs of the whole world”. They call her the “advocate”, the “redeemer”, they call her “holy”, they call her the “intercessor”, and many other titles that belong to God alone. When you read the Bible you see that Mary was “blessed among woman”, but she was not blessed above women. The Bible in no way says or implies that she was “sinless”, and in fact, she goes to the Temple to make a sin offering. Lastly, no where in the Bible does it say or imply that she can now hear prayers or answer prayers. None of that is in the Bible. But you do find this reference to the Queen of Heaven that’s pretty interesting:

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)

Yikes! That’s not good…

Do Catholics pray to Mary? Absolutely. They just don’t have the guts to admit they do.

The Appointment By Trump Of Bilderberg Group Operative Kevin Warsh To The Federal Reserve Shows How Deep The Global Financial Control System Runs

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump Puts Bilderberg Insider Kevin Warsh Over The Federal Reserve As The New World Order Money Machine Keeps Right On Turning

President Donald Trump has appointed Kevin Warsh to chair the Federal Reserve, and Warsh is not some outsider brought in to dismantle the system. He is a former Federal Reserve governor, a Wall Street-connected insider, and a former member of the Bilderberg Group Steering Committee — one of the elite private forums long associated with globalist power, transatlantic policy shaping, and the New World Order agenda. That means the so-called “America First” revolution has now placed a Bilderberg-connected financier over the most powerful central bank in the world.

“Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:3 (KJB)

The Federal Reserve is not just another government institution. It controls the money machinery of America via interest rates, liquidity, banking reserves, inflation policy, emergency lending, and the financial system that affects the entire globe. Whoever runs the Fed has influence far beyond Washington. He sits at the center of the dollar-based world order. So when Trump hands that chair to a man acceptable to the same global financial class conservatives were told he came to defeat, it tells us something important: the system is not being dismantled. It is being rebranded.

This is how the New World Order advances. It does not always arrive through open force. It comes through “stability,” “markets,” “emergency measures,” “financial reform,” “digital modernization,” and “restoring confidence.” It speaks the language of patriotism while keeping the machinery of global control firmly in place. The Bible shows us exactly where this financial centralization is headed, and we talk about it all the time on our Podcast.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

The coming Beast system will be a system of worship, yes — but also a system of economic control. Buying and selling will be regulated by allegiance, identity, and compliance. We are watching the infrastructure of Revelation 13 continue to take shape in real time. Central banking, digital currency, biometric identity, programmable payments, surveillance finance, AI censorship, crisis-driven emergency powers — these are not disconnected developments, and they are all connected to Donald Trump. They are the rails upon which the final system will run. Kevin Warsh at the Fed is another flashing red light that America’s monetary system remains in the hands of the same elite class that has been steering the postwar global order for decades. Trump may speak the language of MAGA nationalism, but make no mistake, this appointment of Warsh shows you that America is run by bankers and the Bilderberg Group, and Trump is happy to be along for the ride.

Senate approves Kevin Warsh as next chairman of the Federal Reserve

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Countries Around The World Beginning To Reel From The Economic Shock Being Generated By World War Trump In Iran

Countries Around The World Begin To Feel The Economic Shock Generated By World War Trump As Inflation Skyrockets And Oil Prices Remain High

Countries around the world are beginning to feel the economic shockwaves from Donald Trump’s war with Iran, as energy prices, shipping costs, and supply-chain fears rise around the Strait of Hormuz. The New York Times reports that nations were bracing Monday for prolonged economic pain after President Trump rejected Iran’s latest offer to end the war and reopen Hormuz, calling it “garbage” and declaring the cease-fire to be “on massive life support.” What began as a military confrontation in the Middle East is now rapidly becoming a global economic event.

“Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.” James 5:2 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, what began as a military and diplomatic confrontation is now becoming a global economic event. Shipping costs, fuel prices, insurance rates, supply chains, inflation, and political unrest are all being pulled into the vortex. Reports today point to fears of bunker fuel shortages in global shipping, with Singapore prices said to have jumped sharply as the war squeezes maritime fuel supply. Saudi Aramco’s CEO has also warned that oil markets may not fully recover until 2027 if Hormuz disruptions continue, according to the New York Post. This is exactly how modern warfare works in the last days. It is not merely tanks, missiles, and aircraft. It’s energy, currency, food, shipping lanes, digital controls, emergency powers, and the tightening of the global system. Every war, every crisis, every supply-chain panic, every oil shock, and every government “emergency response” moves the nations one step closer to the global order that will be handed to Antichrist after the Church is removed. It’s looking more and more like US President Donald Trump is God’s man for judgment in the end times, a modern-day Nebuchadnezzar set up in the most-powerful political office on Earth.

Bibles Behind Bars Gets Open Door At Williamson County Jail To Send Cases Of King James Bibles After One Mother Asked For Just One Bible For Her Son

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Lord Turned One Mother’s Request For One King James Bible Into An Open Door For Hundreds Of Inmates At The Williamson County Jail in Tennessee

What began as a simple and heartfelt request from the mother of an inmate has now become a wide-open door for the word of God inside the Williamson County Jail in Tennessee. A mother reached out to Bibles Behind Bars asking if we could send her son a King James Bible while he was incarcerated. I told her that we would be happy to do that, but making a connection there was much harder than I had anticipated. It took many phone calls, over many weeks, more than a few emails, and no small amount of persistence, but at last we were able to connect with the right person at the facility and obtain permission to send that Bible. Then the Lord did what He so often does, He kicks the door wide open and now we are supplying Bibles to the whole facility!

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (KJB)

This is why Bibles Behind Bars exists. Not to promote a program, not to build a brand, not to make men religious, and not to hand out motivational literature. We exist to get the King James Bible into the hands of men and women behind bars because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The Bible does not need government approval to have power. It doesn’t need academic endorsement, and it doesn’t need modern revision. It needs only to be opened, read, believed, and obeyed. Paul wrote some of his most powerful words from prison. Joseph went from a prison house to a throne. The Philippian jailer met salvation in the middle of the night after an earthquake shook the prison doors open. God has never been intimidated by bars, guards, locks, rules, wardens, court systems, solitary confinements or government facilities. When God wants His word to go in, it goes in. This is the mission of Bibles Behind Bars, this is what your prayers work to accomplish, and this is what the donations you send in are spent on to produce. Come join us in this very important last days work, we need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
