Last week, we looked at three of the seven sayings of Jesus on the cross. We will now examine the other four.

There is no need to create fanciful traditions that contradict scripture to honor Mary. We all believe that she was a virgin when she conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

One does not have to be raised in the Roman Catholic Church (as I was) to know that it puts a great deal of emphasis on Mary. She is called "Mother of God," "Queen of Heaven," "Refuge of Sinners," and more.
