I have said time and time again, both on this blog and elsewhere, that what Roman Catholicism teaches about Mary is the single greatest disproof of her claim to be the Church Jesus established. It has led to many pernicious errors, including the over-inflated view of Mary, often at the expense of Jesus.

May the Virgin Mary help us to open the doors of our hearts to Christ,
Redeemer of man and of history; may she teach us to be humble, because God
looks upon the lowly; may she enable us
to grow in understanding the value of prayer, of inner silence, of listening to
God’s Word; may she spur us to seek
God’s will deeply and sincerely, even when this upsets our plans; may she
encourage us while we wait for the Lord, sharing our time and energies with
those in need.
Mother of God, Virgin of expectation, grant that the God-who-comes will
find us ready to receive the abundance of his mercy.
May Mary Most Holy, “Woman of the Eucharist” and Virgin of
Advent, prepare us all to joyfully
welcome Christ’s coming and to celebrate worthily his sacramental presence in
the mystery of the Eucharist.
All I can say is thank God for the Restoration of the Gospel and the Latter-day Saint possession of correct Mariology.
