Its not an or question. The saint prayed, just as you dad, brother, friend prays for you, and God performed the miracle.
Hmmm...so you’re praying for a saint to pray for you. That makes a lot of sense. I take it you don’t like to buy anything direct...you prefer it to be handled by multiple people and then you’ll buy it?
Seriously why not just pray to God directly? Is he not powerful enough to hear you or discern your request? Or does it need a little saint spin on it to make it reality?
“The saint prayed”
What proof can you provide that:
1. The saint heard the prayer?
2. The saint prayed?
3. God acted because of the saint’s supposed prayer and not for a different reason?
In the end, it is simply without proof of those three things... but a committee votes anyway.
Still waiting for your demonstration of evidence:
