Thank you for bringing this up, I’ve got commentary from the holy fathers for context. There is such richness and beauty in this passage, and surely a Marian aspect as well. 11. Let therefore the slave purchased at so great a price confess his condition, and say, "Behold, O Lord, how that I am Thy servant: "I am Thy servant, and the son of Thine handmaid" (ver. 16). ...This, therefore, is the son of the heavenly Jerusalem, which is above, the free mother of us all. And free indeed from sin she is, but the handmaid of righteousness; to whose sons still pilgrims it is said, "Ye have been called unto liberty;" and again he maketh them servants, when he saith, "but by love serve one another." ...Let therefore that servant say unto God, Many call themselves martyrs, many Thy servants, because they hold Thy Name in various heresies and errors; but since they are beside Thy Church, they are not the children of Thy handmaid. But "I am Thy servant, and the son of Thine handmaid." "Thou hast broken my bonds asunder." -Augustine of Hippo

My protestant friends have a hard time understanding that verse in John. When Jesus says behold your mother and behold your son. That verse by itself is difficult for me to show that mary is our mother now. Because the immediate thing that comes to mind is that somehow we are John? If someone could help me understand that better that would be great. To be clear I do believe she is our spiritual mother but I find it difficult to use that verse to show it.

[@emmap1159]

Mary is given to John (a non relative) into his household. Prots like to argue that Mary had other sons but then why would Jesus give her to John breaking Jewish tradition of the next son caring for her? Also, Jesus insists on calling her "woman", the name God gave Eve, thus establishing Mary as the new Eve, so she is the woman signified in Revelation which John would later write.

[@RonaldSeese-sx4ow]

The holy fathers understand these scriptures better than we do because they were more illumined by the Holy Spirit, whereas I am a sinful man.

[@vinciblegaming6817]

I think much of the prayer to Mary is a continuation of what they had been doing while she was alive - which is seeking her intercession and knowing she was constantly praying for the church while she was on earth. Her departure to heaven isn’t viewed as a cessation of that work, so they continue asking for her intercession now that she’s with her son. You aren’t likely to see that in the scriptures because most of it is written while she’s still alive. Also the intercession of the saints - throughout scripture, they are still alive and interceding for the church in the earthly ministries and people are bringing prayer requests to them. It would be normal for the church to simply continue this habit when the disciples are home with the Lord because they believe the apostles are alive with Christ and are now even more capable of taking their requests to God.

[@johnbrowne2170]

[@vinciblegaming6817]

@@johnbrowne2170 I know you know this because every catholic says it repeatedly - we DO take our prayers to Jesus. We also ask other faithful Christians to pray for us IN ADDITION to our own prayers. They add to, they do not replace. As to Mary, she is in scripture. And many people will point her out in scripture. Everything about her is based on who her son is. And every dogma about her was defined in defense of WHO JESUS IS. You see, heretics would question the divinity of Jesus or his physical incarnation, many times based on his human mother. So the dogmas defend Christ’s identity. But even beyond that reason to defend her, there is this… if you read the scriptures the same way Matthew, Luke, Paul, Peter, and John read scripture, you’d find Mary in the scriptures. But you won’t let them teach you how to read scripture. You insist on reading it in a way totally foreign to them. Sometime, go read the things they reference in the Old Testament and really think about how they drew that interpretation from scripture. Like the rock that follows in the wilderness or the Isaiah 7:14. By Protestant methods of interpretation, you would never get what they got without them telling you about it. When you allow them to teach you how to read the Bible, you find Mary in the OT (and WAY more Jesus).

[@johnbrowne2170]

@@vinciblegaming6817 Mary isn't in the Old Testament. She's not the ark of the covenant or the queen of Heaven and it was Jesus who crushed the head of the serpent in Genesis. Mary wasn't born without sin and neither was her mother for "all have sinned." She wasn't taken bodily into Heaven she wasn't a perpetual virgin. All made up by the RCC to make her easier to be worshiped or 'venerated' as the church likes to say to avoid the 'W' word. All smoke and mirrors finally leading to Mariolty and praying first to her instead of Jesus as most Catholic women I know do.

"Full of grace" is not indeed synonymous with "full of the Holy Spirit". The expression "filled with the Holy Spirit" is pretty unique to Luke but nobody in the New Testament is said to have a greater amount of the Holy Spirit than anyone else. When a prophet spoke, Luke says that he's "filled with the Holy Spirit". When one is filled with the Holy Spirit, it's usually followed by that person speaking. Acts 2:24 - And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Notice that they were ALL filled with the Holy Spirit - not just Mary. Eph. 5:18 - And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Paul is commanding his church to be "filled with the Spirit". Mary didn't have monopoly on this. "Full of grace" is also translated highly favored". Grace and favor are synonymous terms in the New Testament. Luke 1:30 - And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. God found favor in Mary. Notice that He didn't impute His favor upon her - like He gives the grace of His Spirit to those who believe. The Roman religion is infamous for associating things that are not associated in the scriptures. For some reason she takes license with the word of God - making it say things that it does not say. This is disingenuous and deceptive. We are not of those who handle the word of God deceitfully. 2 Cor. 4:2 - But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. That's one of the signs that we can use to identify false religion.
