St. Corona Ping!
Thank-you for this info. God Bless.
PS: Please put the “Catholic/Orthodox” Caucus title in. Thank-you and God Bless.
Why are you going on the attack again? The prayer DOES FOCUS on Christ.
Need to send that to the Admin Moderator

Truth mixed with false doctrine is error.
There are no patron saints of anything.
Now, especially now in these critical times, is the time to remove error.
St Corona, pray for us.
NOW is the time that both our brothers and sisters in Christ both here with us here in this life unite with our brothers and sisters in Christ who have gone home,to present our prayers to the throne of the King.
Too late.
Thank-you and God Bless you anyways!
Is there not Hebrews a “mighty cloud of witnesses”? Who are they if they? They are the saints who are home with God.
Is “Saint” Corona omniscient and can hear all the requests or is his voice mail piling up?
First heaven is outside of time of space, so if God wills it a saint can hear anything he wants them to at any time. That is what happens when you are in union with the one true God.
Second read Revelation. The bowls of sweet smelling incense are the prayers of the faithful. Why would they be presenting the prayers to God? Because the faithful asked the saints to pray to God for them.
Lastly just do an internet search on why Catholics ask saints in heaven to pray for them, and stop rehashing the old canards.

Post #12 says it all, unless you do not believe that all scripture is “God-breathed”.
Only if you don’t read the verses before that quote when Saint Paul asks his followers to pray for others. If you can only ask Jesus to pray for you then St. Paul is wrong when he writes:
“First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
2
for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.
3
This is good and pleasing to God our savior,
4
who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth

This explains it all if you want to read why we ask for the intersession of saints, and have for millennia. In fact there are prayers to the saints on the walls of the catacombs that are from the earliest centuries of the church.
