In the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary for intercessory prayer ref: a pickup truck for myself which I need for roof work and other things. I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the ’70’s.

GAZETTE (January 1) – I wanted to say that I am studying the verse from the Scriptures that led me to say that I walk today by faith and not by sight. I am considering that this might be my New Year’s resolution for 2024: to walk by faith and not by sight all of this year. That is why I am studying this verse in order to draw up my blueprint on how to do this. I will say more later on, and take you on a visit down this rabbit hole with me. Why did I say this, and why am I studying this verse from 2 Corinth. 5:7?

Meanwhile.

The Assumption of Mary is the belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken into heaven at the end of her life, body and soul. This is the glorious fruition which began when the Lord sent the Archangel Gabriel to appear to Mary when she was a teenager.

When the Archangel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). Then, when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth who was already pregnant with John the Baptist, John lept with joy inside of Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Jesus inside of Mary. Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).

The angel had said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Luke 1:30-33

The Church affirmed the divinity of Jesus.

The Council of Ephesus, the 3rd Ecumenical Council, confirmed that the Virgin Mary was not just Christ-bearer as Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, declared, but also God-bearer because Jesus was God and Christ. Thus, the council added the third sentence and created the Hail Mary prayer.

The Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

To this day, followers of the Patriarch’s declaration and many Protestants dishonor Mary and the divinity of Jesus by refusing to accept the Hail Mary prayer by such “God-bearer” believers even though the mouths of the Archangel and cousin Elizabeth declared these very words in the Holy Scriptures.
