Why do we worship in Our Lady of the Assumption?

There are 2 questions here. Let me answer you first question. Catholics are not worshiping Our Lady. She is one of the most respected human being for Catholics. There is a big difference between "worshiping" and "respecting". Infact christains should not worship anyone other than Jesus. She works as a medium between Jesus and us.\n\nSecond Question answer: There are many in the world with same name.

My husband and I believe in God and have faith in Jesus, not religion. Both of us have tried different religions throughout our lives but it seems like they all have negative aspects. We feel that we don't have to associate with any particular church or religion to have a relationship with God and we are much happier for it. We also believe that since God created this earth, then God is everywhere, so why should we have to confine our worship to a building or on a particular day?

Hebrews 10:25 God speaks to us about the importance of Christians gathering together and sharing in the things of the Spirit. \nBack in Jesus times people gathered in a house of a fellow believer, but no we can not do that anymore; so we to build churchs, Halls, ect........ to welcome more followers.\n\n** But remember church is only one spot you can worship GOD, everyday evey moment give him glory**\n\nDEMOCRACY IN HEAVEN

We, as Catholics, refer to the Church as a her due to the nurturing that is to take place within the confines of the church.  Just like a mother, we learn from her and put what she teaches us into our everyday life.  We also believe that Mary, the virgin, was the mother of God and the mother of the Church which was founded by Jesus during his time on earth.  Does that help?

I don't know where you get your information from.  You have been misinformed.  There are some so called "Catholics" that are misguided, as well as many others.  I was raised and taught in Catholic schools.  Not once, did anyone ever suggest praising statues or worshiping anyone or anything other than (Jesus, Holy Spirit & the Father) Holy trinity = one God.  We believe in offering prayers for loved ones, and we believe that the Staints offer they're prayers for the living.  But if someone was to assume that Catholics are taught to worship anyone or anything other than God, they are sadly mistaken.  Statues, pictures, etc... are reminders of who are good examples of how to live as Christ did.  Just like having pictures of your children.  The pictures are NOT your children, but an image of your children.  you would feed, clothe or talk to the picture.  Being Cathoilic does not mean that you are out of touch with reality.

They worship all the living and non living things. you name it, they'll worship it.\n\nThey worship Gods creations and thus stands his own creations equal to him.

Really? We do? Yes, at Mass and anything where there is a Mass involved. There's some instituted prayers (most notably the Lord's Prayer, instituted by, well, the Lord) but I don't think these are rituals.\n\nYou've posted more than 90 questions. More than half of them show your misunderstanding of Catholicism. I'd dare to say you're an uneducated bigot.\n\nShame on you. \n\nRevelations 21:8 - Revilers go to Hell.

Worship, pray, and enjoy.\n\nThank you for showing respect in asking for advice.\n\nDo whatever feels right in your heart.\n\nStand and sit when others do. Catholics typically sit to listen to God's Word and stand to pray.\n\nCatholics kneel during the consecration of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). You may kneel or sit at this time, whichever you choose. \n\nAs a Methodist, your beliefs about the Eucharist is not the same as ours. We believe in the true presence of Christ. Out of respect for both of our faiths, please do not receive Holy Communion.\n\nAt this time, you may be invited to go up for a blessing from the priest. If you choose, go up with your arms crossed over your heart to receive the blessing.\n\nIf you are comfortable, pray along with the prayers and sing along with the songs.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I agree totally with you. The Catholic Church does teach the Bible and we hear the Bible at every Mass. We have two readings and usually a psalm reading at every Mass. I really think it is a matter of jealousy with the other denominations. Just like Joseph's brothers were jealous of him they are jealous of us because we have the Mother that our Father loves the best The Virgin Mary. We love and honor her and they don't so I would say the proof is in the pudding.

It is always a priviledge to be able to sit down and have a nice meal with family or alone, and I love to thank Our Lord, for the many blessings, and my prayer is something like this, Father, I thank you for our blessings that You have bestowed upon us this day, I thank you for this food that it will nourish our bodies, so that we may be better able to serve you, we thank you and ask your soverign protection upon all of our troops all over the world and may they be comforted in You Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.\nI feel we are speaking directly to the Lord so each time we pray our words may convey other prayer requests, but mainly we just want to Thank Him for His Love.

It is just the best thing!\nyou know, a lot of the times, we're tempted to see God as the ''big guy'' up there who looks down at us, and whom we're supposed to pray to out of duty.. But when we start seeing God as a loving father, as one who desires fellowship and even friendship with us, our perspective of Him, and how He should be served changes. and then we are able to just spend time worshipping and communing with God, not for anything else.. not for what we want, but just cos we love Him for who He is, for loving us, for dying for our sins.. it's a beautiful thing, and it betters our relationship with Him.\nI pray that every true Christian comes to the place where we just worship God cos we love Him. That is TRUE worship.\nGod bless ya!

When you want to join the church all you have to do is acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, that you believe and trust in Him to save you.  We have altar calls and when people want to join the church they just go up and tell the preacher.  It isn't that particular scripture so much as just knowing you want and need to be in church, although Matt. 18:20 is of great importance.  Paul  also tells us to forsake not the assembling of the brethern.  That is because we share the blessing, learn, and help one another.

It is a quote from Saint Augustine - "He who sings prays twice". It is simply meant to describe the high place of music in worship.

they dont want to accept the fact that Jesus was God and dont want to convert or go to mass or do something for God.\nthey just want to be ignorant and live life according to their will. they dont want to acknowledge Jesus as God or else they will have to give up time and worship Him.
