When I was a kid I used to wonder where a ‘saint’ came from.

Now that I see the process, I am less than enthusiastic about the concept of praying to saints.

These are people. I thought prayer was only meant for God.

God does the miracle, but the saint is simply is doing what you would ask dear ones or friends to do, pray for you.

Sometimes God performs a miracle to honor saints.

Think of the Miracle at Cana.

Jesus clearly rebuked his mother saying it was not yet his time.

Yet Jesus performed the miracle.

Why?
