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.
Madonna, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Paul
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.
