Scripture says that Jael is also, where is the HAIL JAEL prayer?

Unlike the case of Mary, Scripture does not record that form of words addressed to Jael, so there is none ready to hand. A Catholic would most likely say: "Jael, defender of Israel, pray for us."

Look, there are just too many quotes from the Popes to deny people in the RCC dont pray TO Mary to ask MARY to talk to JESUS for us for you to expect me to even respond with any detail refuting that....

I will gladly assert that every day I ask Mary to pray for me and family at the foot of her Son's heavenly throne.

I also ask my own mom to pray for me to Jesus as well.

I am not worshipping my own mom when I do that and I am not worshipping Jesus' mother when I make the exact same request to her.

It's not difficult to comprehend.

We would love to have a man of your persistence in the Catholic Church. You have nothing to lose by being open to the truth, as the good book says, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

The idea of Catholicism is a very simple one. Jesus Christ, one in being with the Father, founded a Church, and promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. That Church, led by the apostles, and guided by the Holy Spirit, included a definite leadership of Apostles, Bishops, elders, and deacons. It also had a liturgy of worship, and was a unified, cohesive and organized structure capable of responding to the errors of self-appointed authorities, as described in the New Testament. The members of the Church began to call themselves Christians, and the New Testament was written within that Church, in keeping with the traditions handed down from Jesus. That same Church, which Jesus promised to protect, has continued to exist and function up to the present. It exercises its mission of preaching the Gospel, and passing on the Faith, received from the Apostles, as commanded by Christ, and is under his protection. Guided by the Holy Spirit, that SAME Church has survived countless persecutions and attacks, and has been opposed by many alternative interpretations of Christianity, but continues to serve its mission to the present, and will continue to do so, until Christ comes again in Glory.

I'm asking you to consider an extraordinary thing, Race. Peter, Paul, Matthew, Mary, Luke, Mark, James, Titus, Timothy: they were all Catholic. The Church of the Apostles, and the Faith of the apostles is in fact present in the Catholic Church, and you have been invited to the banquet. If you’re at peace with your own religion, so be it, but if not, why not investigate the claims of the 2000 year old Church?

The Bible was created within the Catholic Church, and as such, you will find Christianity at its most biblical, in the Catholic Church. If you love the Bible, this is where you are going to find the Biblical Faith at it's fullest.
