I am Catholic but i was not raised too strictly, sometimes i make my own beliefs. in my opinion there are lots of people out there that fit the word "saint" who are working, in a quiet way or not, to help others selflessly, and in turn bring out the good in others.

Mary and Martha were the sisters of Lazarus, and they along with Mary Magdalen were followers of Jesus.\nJohn was called the beloved disciple.

Yes, and I believe we were directed to be Jesus arms and hands here on earth for our season.  God may not need anything from us, but He sure does use us whenever He wants to, however He wants to, and that is His sovereign right.  We need to be willing vessels, if we want to recieve a blessing thru all the trials and such.\n\nYou can effect people without having a clue you are doing it.  It comes from the example you live out in your life, and if you are following the Lord, it will be for your good and the good of the Kingdom.  We all have had thoughts of what WE want to do for God, but what about what the Lord has planned for us, are we willing and ready to be used, sometimes without even knowing it.  Sometimes used in ways we would not consent to, except for Jesus in our heart.\n\nI have given money, knowing there was little chance to recieve it back, I have taken on care for 2 young boys, I have given up many personal rights, all in God's plan for my life.  There have been many more instances, and so many blessings from my trying to be obedient.  This is not what I thought I would do for God, but He has shown me that to raise my children in His knowledge is more important than whatever plan I thought would be for His glory.\n\nSo in this fallen world, we have to listen to the still small voice, and be obedient to it, even when we don't understand why... it isn't in our mind to know the mind of God. Blessings.

Mary is significant only in that God needed someone to give birth to His only begotten Son.  Putting any more importance on her than that is not scriptural, and erroneous.\n\nThis I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Absolutely. I believe with all my being, that Jesus Christ is present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament.\n\nI stake my soul on it, every day at Mass!

The Catholic church claims Mary is still a virgin.\n\nBut I think they're just trying to keep God from being charged with rape. No penetration, no rape.

Yes. Jesus became my Savior the day He saved my soul. He changed my life, and gave me something to live for. He put a new song in my heart. I no longer enjoy sin, or want to be any part of it. I want to be a witness for Jesus. I live my life apart from this world, and seek God for the will of my life. I Thank God for all my Blessing, and I Love Him with all my heart!

I understand what you're trying to say to us protestants.I want you to know, as a protestant I do not put her(Mary) on a shelf, and only bring her down at the celebration of His birth,(Xmas), and His death on the cross(Easter).After all my protestant prayers, I thank Her for saying "yes" to God, and bearing a savior for the world.I thank her for rearing him, loving him, molding him for his ministry. Jesus loved her, shes His mother , so How can I help but love Her. I am a mother of Sons too. When I watch the passion of Christ, I cry, for my savior, for Her, for the heartbreak I share with her. Do I love Jesus?.......YES,  do I love His Mother?..........YES.   Does Jesus love me?.........YES.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared 6 times to 3 shepherd children; Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta; between May 13 and October 13, 1917. She came to the little village of Fatima, Portugal. She came with a message from God to every man, woman and child of our century. Our Lady of Fatima promised that the whole world would be in peace, and that many souls would go to Heaven if Her requests were listened to and obeyed.\nShe told us that war is a punishment for sin; that God would punish the world for its sins in our time by means of war, hunger, persecution of the Church and persecution of the Holy Father, the Pope, unless we listened to and obeyed the command of God.\n\nGOD HIMSELF\nEndorses Fatima\n       As a great sign of this whole mesage truly coming from God, a marvelous miracle was worked in the sky above Fatima before 70,000 witnesss on October 3, 1917 at the time, date and place that Lucy and the other two children had prophesied in the name of Our Lady of Fatima.\n\nShe told us that God had chosen to use Russia as the instrument of chastisement to punish the whole world if we did not, by our obedience, prayers and sacrifices, obtain the conversion of Russia to the Catholic faith.\nShe promised us, "If My requests are granted Russia will be converted and there will be peace".\nBut She also warned us, "If My requests are not granted, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world raising up wars and persecutions against the Church, the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated."\n\nThe third secret somewhat controversial, has to do with the faith of the believers being compromised...they will lose their faith.Some say that the 3rd secret has not been fully revealed, because it was supposed to be revealed in 1960, and because much has happened since then, those in the higher levels of the vatican have supresssed it.\nThe last surviving visionary, Sister Lucy, who died february 13,2005,was silenced by the vatican, so they controversy about the 3rd secret continues.

You are perverting the Scriptures... Mary died and she is in Paradise.  She can't come back and appear to anyone.  The one who is giving these messages, etc is a deceiving spirit.  your "blessed mother" as you call her/him is Ashtoreth... Ashtoreth was called "mother" or "queen of heaven."  You are deceived... haven't you been told this before???\n\nIn the Name of Jesus of Nazareth... stop deceiving the peoples!  Stop this foolishness and repent of this sin.\n\nFor I tell you... if anyone preaches a different Gospel other than the one preached by the true Apostles... they are eternally condemned.  \n\nTherefore... I appeal to you... stop this!\n\n--- Edited:\n\nPeople don't need Mary... they need Jesus.  I don't need Mary to speak to me.  I need the Spirit of Jesus... the Spirit of God is the Wonderful Counselor... not Mary.  And indeed the Spirit of Jesus is my Counselor.\n\nAgain... you are mixing what is holy... with the profane.  \n\nGod will judge you for this.\n\n--- For Catholic 16:\n\nI am not a protestant... I am of 'the Way'...\nCatholicism is full of errors.\n\n--- Edit:\n\nI have tested you... your fruit is bad.\n\nCatholicism mixes what is profane... with what is holy.\nCatholicism is spiritual adultery... of course Catholicism hides behind Jesus... nevertheless, it causes people to commit adultery with the devil and his minions!\n\nCatholicism is hallow and deceptive.  Outwardly it looks Christian... inwardly its not.  Catholicism is like a white washed tombstone... on the inside?? dead men's bones.\n\nChristians should come out from Catholicism and be true to God!  Catholicism is a Harlot.\n\n--- Edit:\n\nI am a Prophetess... the Spirit of Jesus agrees that Catholicism is a Harlot.  I call Catholicism a Harlot because God says that it is.  You mix what is holy... with what is profane.  Mary has appeared to no one, but instead... a fallen angel.  \n\nTurn from your wayward ways and repent!  I speak the truth... Catholicism and fallen angels are deceiving you.\n\nWhy do you think that mixing what is holy with the profane is okay?  Did the rebellious Jews get away with it?  no, they did not.  Repent of your sins!

Yes. I feel that innocence and virginity are sacred things. One can dance around its edges mentally and physically, but it is oh so easy to cross that line.
