>>They pray for us, especially when we ask them to.<<

Do Catholics think people are so stupid to believe that all they expect from those saints and Mary is that they will pray for you? We've seen the prayers. Catholics ask them to do specific tasks not just pray for them. Catholics have made them demi gods.

Would I be going out on a limb, by calling it N-E-C-R-O-M-A-N-C-Y? What happens if the "saint" is actually in Hell, not Heaven? Can they still pray for others? Would they even be interested, being as they might be more concerned with the flames surrounding them. Suppose?

Here's one...


My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!
God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.
Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.
We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.
Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.
Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.
May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.
You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.
You love us because God and Christ loved us first.
Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.
