> Why do you think a human woman holds some sort of power over Jesus that she could make your prayers to him more effective?
Mary doesn’t hold ‘power’ over Jesus. Mary is the Mother of God, i.e. the incarnate God-man. Christ loves His mother, who was an absolutely unique woman and human being. Who else has had God dwell within their body? Who else has had God take of their flesh and become a human through them? Who else has raised Jesus as a son other than St. Joseph? This woman was pregnant with God, gave birth to God, held God in her arms, nursed God, raised God, and this woman was faithful to the end, can you imagine her sorrow at the foot of the cross seeing her child, the Christ, nailed to the cross. And then Christ says ‘Behold your Son’, and to John ‘behold your mother’. All of the others fled. Christ’s love and election of Mary is something astounding. She is alive today in Christ among the saints and prays for us. Christ created the Virgin to further His glory and to magnify the Lord even further.

I do not understand how Protestants cannot honor the Mother of Jesus Christ. Our Lady gave us the rosary in order to deepen our love for Christ and to meditate on the mysteries of the Gospel. If you want to understand Mary and her place in Christianity, pray the rosary every day.
