Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I was trying to explain this to a protestant friend and she ofcourse asked me 'where in the Bible is it'...lol. Ofcourse we as Catholics aren't 'Bible Alone' people...but I was just wondering...is it in the Bible? Can anyone here elaborate more on how the Catholic church arrived at this doctrine?

Thanks in advance.

1 John 5:16-17
"16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death."

Luke 12: 47-48
"47"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."

Matthew 5: 19
"19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

These are the verses most commonly cited.

A great site I use when in these situations is Scripture Catholic.

http://www.scripturecatholic.com/

It is an easy place to find the Scriptures which are the basis of Catholic teaching.

Hope these help.

Mary
