A Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
Page 2 of 2
61. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. 62. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. 63. Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, that we Thy Servants may enjoy perpetual health of mind and body and by the glorious intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, be delivered from present sorrow and enter into the joy of eternal happiness. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. 64. Approved by Pope Sixtus V in 1587 Notice that Mary is called the "most merciful", "mirror of Justice", "seat of wisdom", "cause of our joy", the "Morningstar", a "refuge for sinners", etc. These are titles that belong to Christ. The Roman Catholic Church has elevated Mary to a place she does not deserve. Though she is greatly blessed among women for carrying the Messiah, she is not "the seat of wisdom" nor is she the "refuge of sinners", or the "Queen of the prophets", the "Queen of the apostles," or the "Comforter of the afflicted." Jesus is the King, the Lord, and he sent the comforter, the Holy Spirit that we might have the presence of God dwelling within us. "You shall have no other gods before Me," (Exodus 20:3 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Exodus%2020.3) ). "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might," Deut. 6:5 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Deut.%206.5) ). "I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another," (Isaiah 42:8 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Isaiah% 2042.8) ). "For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; for how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another," (Isaiah 48:11 (http://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/Isaiah%2048.11) ).
