And Joseph??? Didn't he do anything???

Why, St. Joseph was instrumental in protecting the Holy Family and he was the stepfather of Jesus, to whom he was obedient. It would be good for Christian men to pray to St. Joseph. I am sure you do.

they all prayed with one accord.

And they still do!

No, I go directly to the source. No middle men.

I would fear for Harley's very soul if he made such a blasphemous error. Thankfully, I know Harley has read and understood the Bible and God's admonition not to pray to anyone other than the Triune God of creation.

"Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? 20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?" -- Isaiah 44:15-20
