My friend Bill Lueg has some good insight on his weblog today:
I thought I'd quote something from a book I'm reading by C.S. Lewis. It's called The Weight of Glory and it's profound.
If you asked twenty good men today what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you had asked almost any of the great Christians of old, he would have replied, Love. You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative idea of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinance and not their happiness was the important point. I do not think this is the Christian virtue of Love....
He's so right. Unselfishness is just self-conscious selfishness disguised in pietistic behaviour. Love not only forgets itself, but it forgets to forget. It is always seeking others and in so doing, it finds its deepest happiness and joy.

The following message is from the Oblate Forum mailing list and was sent by a Swedish Lutheran priest in response to a Protestant asking about praying to Mary. I found it to be a very good explanation of the practice, so I'm including it unedited, in its entirety.

Let me try to spell out the "praying to Mary" issue. I am a lutheran
priest and controversially to some, I find praying to Mary very
appropriate. I dont talk about it too much, becuase I dont always
have the time to explain it to other lutherans. Though, I welcome
this oppurtunity to try...
