Explore the reasons behind the Protestant rejection of the intercession of saints, a practice deeply rooted in many Christian traditions. This video takes you on an enlightening journey to understand why some Christians do not seek the prayers of the Virgin Mary, angels, or saints, grounding their beliefs in the teachings of Saint John and Apostle Paul, who emphasize Jesus Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity. However, it also challenges this viewpoint by delving into the distinctions between Christ's atoning mediation and the saints' intercessory prayers. Through biblical insights, historical examples, and theological explanations, we uncover the profound significance of asking for the saints' intercession. This video invites viewers from all denominations to reevaluate the role of saintly intercession in fostering a more vibrant, interconnected faith community. ?

Mary holds a special place in Catholicism. She's venerated, not worshipped, as the Mother of God (Theotokos). Catholics believe in her Immaculate Conception, meaning she was conceived without original sin, and they seek her intercession, viewing her as a powerful advocate before God. (Reference: Catechism of the Catholic Church, 491-492) 491 Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin. 492 The "splendor of an entirely unique holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son". The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person "in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love". #BlessedVirginMary #MotherOfGod #Theotokos #ImmaculateConception #HailMary #MarianDevotion #QueenOfHeaven #Intercessor #FullOfGrace #AveMaria ?
