>>16959188>it's just that if I had a request, I'd make it to the guy with ultimate power and infinite wisdom.Then you simply don't understand networking. You don't understand how valuable a recommendation from someone he knows and trusts is. You seriously think that showing up to an office building unannounced with a diorama and a power point presentation and demanding to see the CEO is a stronger position than if his mother said "you can come to my birthday party and show him your presentation there"?
In the scriptures, Jesus performed His first miracle and came out as the Son of God when He turned water into wine at tge wedding. Why did He do this after saying "No, my time is not yet at hand." What caused GOD HIMSELF to alter his plan and change his schedule? A request from his mother.
Jesus has said that because His mother denied Him nothing here on Earth, He would deny her nothing in heaven.
The Church teaches that the reason God was so strict, and wrathful in the Old Testament, but so much more lenient now is because of the intercession of His mother.
