I know quite a few non Catholics who have prayer groups who pray for people in their church or the sick - what is the difference? If I meet someone I know and find they are in a terrible situation - I say I will pray for them - they accept that quite readily - Catholic or non-Catholic. I cannot understand how asking Mary or the saints to pray for us is so terrible. They are already in heaven.
“I cannot understand how asking Mary or the saints to pray for us is so terrible. They are already in heaven.”
Are those who are in heaven, other than the Trinity and the angels, aware of what is going on in this world?
