I just read a report on yahoo Australia. It reports of a family of a young girl who has had a couple of accidents. I really do feel for her and her family. I concede that what has happened to her is unfortunate and sad. I'm happy the girl is well and recovering. I do not deny that she is a lucky girl to be alive.
Now, the only problem is what was said. It was stated that they paryed to Mary MacKillop on both incidence.
Really this should not be the case. We must note that Catholics pray to 1 God... Jesus. We do not pray to saints or Mary. We just don't. If at all, we speak to them, ask them to intercede, to pray for us, that we are not put to the test, for us to be saved, forgiven...
Pictures of Mary in their house... Well, I can't say much. Do they have Jesus? An alter? I think their thanks should go to Jesus and not Mary.
In the Bible, Jesus performed the miracles, not Mary, not John, not Joseph, not Mark....
Thou shall not worship idols.
Thou shall not worship any God except me.
