Popular Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and Answers,”

The following is excerpted from the article, “Popular Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and Answers,” published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, (03 Copyright © by United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) and a continuation from last week. The full text can be found at www.usccb.org/bishops/devprac.htm

8. How does our veneration of Mary and the saints relate to our worship of God? 
The honor we give to God alone is properly called adoration, the highest honor we can give. The honor we give to Mary and the saints is called veneration. Proper veneration of the saints does not interfere with the worship due to God, but rather fosters it. Thus, the proper veneration of Mary does not detract from worship of God. Even as the Mother of the Savior, Mary has a place that is in every way subordinate to and dependent upon that of her Son, who is the one mediator between God and humanity. The maternal role that Mary fulfills toward us as Mother of the Church "in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows His power."

The Second Vatican Council explained very clearly Mary’s mediating role. What Mary does for the salvation of the human family does not come from her own power, but from a gift of divine grace that is bestowed on her through her Son. All the salvific influence that she bestows on us is produced "not from some inner necessity, but from the divine pleasure. It flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on His mediation, depends entirely on it and draws all its power from it." Mary in no way replaces Christ. Rather, her role is to bring us to Christ, as is illustrated in Mary's admonition at the wedding feast of Cana, "Do whatever he tells you." (Jn 2:5).

Congratulations

Geoffrey Kennard recently became an Eagle Scout! He completed his Eagle project for St. Malachi Center. Well done!  

..and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now." Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.  Jn 2:10-11
