So, rehearsed prayer to any dead saint or Jesus Himself is a no no.Christ condemns repetitious prayer, that a repeating in the context and f a single prayer, He does not condemn the repeating of a single prayer many times
Evidence for this is His own prayer!
Matt 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
So, rehearsed prayer to any dead saint or Jesus Himself is a no no.
Also, what you said that I highlighted debunks itself.
Wow, you are not a real Catholic.never
Jesus said the same words over and over again?He prayed the same prayer three times
there are no dead saints
John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am theresurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
The communion of the saints
rev 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Jesus said the same words over and over again?
He prayed, but not the rosary etc.
Wow, you are not a real Catholic.
They pray at an altar to Mary etc. These altar's are typically in the entrance of the building by the water basin.
no, it is vain repetition.rosary is praying the gospel
She was Joseph's sweetheart, not yours....Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation!
no, it is vain repetition.
It has been stuck in my head for 50 years.
She was Joseph's sweetheart, not yours....
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
YEA RATHER , SWEET HEART OF JESUS IS MY SALVATION .Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation!
YEA RATHER , SWEET HEART OF JESUS IS MY SALVATION .
You are in grave and deadly danger praying as you do .
MARY is blessed and shall be called blessed . But she is not our salvation . You are in far more danger than you realize .
And i am not being mean or ill willed to you . If i didnt love you i would not even bother to warn you .
But this is dangerous , very very dangerous the way you pray . JESUS is our salvation and HE alone
is worthy of that acknowledgment . You seriously need to heed what i am telling you . This is blasphemous .
And if mary herself were on earth today , SHE would warn you herself , DO not say such a thing . POINT TO MY SON ONLY .
Yea rather , HAIL KING JESUS for BY HE COMETH GRACE AND TRUTH .

And(JOSEPH) knew her not till(UNTIL) she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.she is still a perpetual Virgin
Even consecrated her virginity to God
Lk 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Not in the past!
Not now!
Not ever!
Perpetual Virgin! The sign of Jesus divinity! God with us!
