Looking at the Marian History..... this are the things i can only answer:
1. Most Honored Virgin = means Mary was well honored among those people (virgins) who sacrificed their lives to God... especially those Nuns and Virgin saints...
2. Mother of the Lord = it is the previledge that Mary received after she accepted to be the Mother of the Messiah, Jesus. She was given the title THeotokos which means, "god-bearer".
3. Full of Grace was the name given to her as a greeting of the Angel in the Bible.
4. Mystical Rose = Sorry i forgot....
5. Our Lady = this is the name bacame famous during the crusade with the soldiers... they look at Mary as "Our Lady"
6. Queen of Earth = was title Mary told the children of FAtima on her apparition there....when she was asked who is she.
7. Queen of Heaven = ame as number 6.
8. Morning Star = this is a most criticised title of MAry because "morning star" is the Planet Venus...... it means Greek mythology... not so original title given to her.... but for the theologians.. this means she is a bright star i nthe morning that give light to the fishermen in the morning and hope for the people for another day before the sunrise.
9. New Eve = was a biblical name... you can read in Genesis that God promised to Adam that He will send a "woman" to have child that will crush the head of the serpent....... that "woman" was claimed to be Mary in the New Testament... and the "child" is Jesus.
i hope i have helped a little..... thanks for the question.... very challenging...

Worship isn't related to the actual manifestations exhibited in the process the technique - it relatively is approximately one's approach over who's being worshiped. If we are mentally venerating Mary, than we are doing in basic terms that. NO worship. i'm no longer able to make right here factor to any extent further well-liked: Catholics do no longer worship every physique or the rest different than the only genuine God that exists interior this style of the Holy Trinity. whilst we genuinely do supply lots honor to Mary and the Saints, that's to no longer be puzzled with worship. To sparkling up this false impression, evaluate this concern: What do you do in the process the national Anthem? All human beings are to stand, dealing with the flag, do away with their hats, placed their hand to their heart, and recite the words as they're sung. besides the shown fact that, this genuinely isn't worship, is it? you're in basic terms giving honor on your united states, and the loads upon hundreds of troops who sacrificed their lives for the liberty of their descendants. that's somewhat lots the comparable factor that Catholics to with the Saints and Mary. we don't worship them, as they are not a god, yet we do supply them the honour they deserve for the super lengths they took for his or her ideals and the betterment and promoting of their faith. lots of the Saints took the surprising sacrifice, their lives, to maintain their Catholic Christian ideals genuine of their hearts. genuinely, the least we will pay off them is with honor. CJ - That website is downright evil and devil-pushed. How can an internet site that embraces Jesus Christ use a photo of a demon interior the black backround?

Pull out that Catechism...homework huh?!
Blessed Virgin Mary comes from the prophesy of Isaiah in the Old Testament.
Mary not Biblical?!
Please read the Bible.
Honor her as Jesus honors His mother.

Catholic Dogma aside- Lets look at,
The Egyptian Isis, with the child Horus, on her knee, was honored centuries before the Christian era, and worshiped under the names of
"Our Lady,"
"Queen of Heaven,"
"Star of the Sea,"
"Mother of God,"
and so forth.
Before her, Neith, the "Virgin of the World", whose figure bends from the sky over the earthly plains and the children of men, was acclaimed as mother of the great god Osiris.

If you would truly like to know, I recommend reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
