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.
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.
Romans 14:9 tells us Jesus Christ is Lord of both the living and the dead.
Put it this way—
Have you ever asked a friend, a fellow churchgoer, or total stranger to “pray for” you or someone you feel is in need of prayers?
Then stop!
The difference between everyday people you ask to pray for you, and the saints, is that they haven’t yet died and gone to Heaven. So if you think asking for the prayers of saints in Heaven— actual humans who once lived for Christ among us, and now look upon the face of Christ Himself— is so awful, then asking for the prayers of the living who are still among us, breathing & farting & gossiping is surely a mortal sin that will cast you into the fire!
So, by all means, stop!
Do I need a /sarc tag?
While we’re at it, get rid of all your framed family photos, photo albums, Facebook, TV and computers, monuments of military heroes and statues of patrons of the arts...
Anything that serves as a reminder of persons, living or dead. Stop praying for our President or hanging portraits of past presidents.
Graven images. Idolatry. All of it.
But wait. Those things are just part of life that don’t bother you?
It’s only the paintings & statuary that remind you of saints who LIVED exemplary lives of holiness & DIED (often horrifically martyred) in Christ — - which send you into paroxysms of rage?
Oh dear.
We’ll pray for you.
