Do you ask friends and/or family to pray for you?
If they want to do that I certainly do not refuse.
But even more I treasure Jesus to whom I can pray personally and I experience the result of an ever greater love. Jesus gets sold way short by some people and it grieves the Lord.
On good grief....not this one.
Yes, but as noted by Paul....to people here on earth. Not those who've gone before us.
We're not bowing down to a statue of anyone, lighting a candle and invoking their name in prayer or praying to them.
Catholic apologetics are so pitiful.
So “Mary” (let’s pretend it really is her) is now omniscient like God, when not even Satan has that power?
By what power does a dead human have ability to hear my thoughts and meditations?
