Entrust your intention to St. Paul and offer the following prayer. O St. Paul, the Apostle, preacher of truth and Doctor of the Gentiles, intercede for us to God, who chose you. You are a vessel of election, O St. Paul the Apostle, preacher of truth to the whole world. O God, you have instructed many nations through the preaching of the blessed apostle Paul. Let the power of his intercession with you help us who venerate his memory this day.

Imagine what Paul would have specifically said had he known people would have PRAYED TO him when he had departed this earth. Or had asked for his intercession with God with Christ reigning. The Epistle to the Catholics.

Please read the prayer again. We are asking St. Paul to pray for us. (intercede for us )(intercession)

Read the introductions to his Letters. In almost everyone of them he prays for them....and then again at the end of the letter.

This is one of the most vulgar, disgraceful things I've ever read here. Just a cursory glance through Paul's epistles would/SHOULD be enough to give someone the clear understanding that he would have been mortified by this 'prayer'. All I can add to try to clarify this great Apostle's commission and mission for Christ is this:

"In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." (Rom. 2:16).

This is what will be presented to you, Salvation. NOT copies of your 'prayers' to St. Paul.
