Dear Mr. Ritchie:
.
While attending the Glenn Beck rally August 28, 2010, I was handed a brochure on Our Lady of Fatima, by one of two men wearing suits, as I was leaving the rally.
It is called a statue in the literature, yet I am asked to look deep into her eyes. You write that she has a message. Can this statue actually speak? I am told to turn to Our Blessed Mother for help. How can she help? Even when she was alive she asked Jesus for help. She said to Him, “They have no wine.” Then she told the servants to do whatever Jesus said to do. Should not we also be living our lives in obedience to Jesus? He is the one who is God not Mary and certainly not this statue.
Isn’t this actually a form of idolatry which God says we should not be engaged in? Are we not told to go directly to God and no one else? Isn’t God listening for our prayers? Why bother with someone who is not almighty and divine and not able to help anyway?
.
I suspect you are headed for hell, the Great White Throne Judgment, and the Lake of Fire. I suggest you repent, confess to God you are a sinner, and invite Jesus into your heart.
Sincerely,
.
.
Sam
