First appeal I've seen a catholic make to the Lord. You're getting there.

rather than running off with inane nonsense, why not attend a Catholic Mass or a change. There you would discover that the entire Mass is appealing to the lord for forgiveness, asking for His mercy, extolling His relationship with mankind, reminding ourselves that salvation is a gift from God through Christ, and participating in the extraordinary gift of the Holy Eucharist....one of the seven Sacraments that He instituted as gifts to mankind.

Believe it or not I have been to one. Walked in the door and there was a statue of Mary with arms extended. Not sure if that is standard in catholic churches or not.

Recall hearing the rosary, seeing communion, though I did not participate(I do participate at the church I attend).
