However, "the continual prayer of a just man availeth much" (James 5:16), and those tend to be canonized saints of the Holy Catholic Church. Coincidence? I think not. You got some 'splaning to do Lucy!
That makes no sense what you posted.
No where does James make any reference to a "special" canonized saint. Again with the man-made nonsense by the rcc.
No wonder some think it's a cult.
No where does James make any reference to a "special" canonized saint True, but the point remains that when I think "who do I know who is righteous?" I think of Mary, my patron saint Alexius of Rome, the Holy Apostles, St. Thomas, pope Gregory the Great, -- the saints. So I ask them first.

Mother Mary pray for us sinners and pray for the Holy Church. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the company of saints in heaven, Amen.
