7 “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! 9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, --New Living Translation 7And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. [I Kings 18:25-29.] 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. 9Pray, therefore, like this: 15But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their [j]reckless and willful sins, [k]leaving them, letting them go, and [l]giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses. --Amplified Pray with Simplicity 5"And when you come before God, don't turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for stardom! Do you think God sits in a box seat? 6"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace. 7-13"The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: 16-18"When you practice some appetite-denying discipline to better concentrate on God, don't make a production out of it. It might turn you into a small-time celebrity but it won't make you a saint. If you 'go into training' inwardly, act normal outwardly. Shampoo and comb your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face. God doesn't require attention-getting devices. He won't overlook what you are doing; he'll reward you well. |
Mark Kirby: O Mother of Good Counsel, I am all thine, Most Holy Mary, There is no part of my life that is not open to thee, I want to be completely transparent with thee, Praying in this way, I can be at rest, |

Apparently some people’s idea of “heaven” is to sit in a corner and attend to busy-work, like God hasn’t got that all figured out
My fav bumper sticker:
Jesus is coming.
Look busy.
Maybe so but there's no indication from Scripture that they can hear us.
Besides,... Romans 8:26&27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
The Holy Spirit prays for us according to what He knows is best.
What else do we need? Is any saint or even Mary going to be able to pray for us as effectively as God the Holy Spirit Himself?
No, what I am suggesting is that the knowing of one another and the affections for one another is a reflection of the universal love that Christ has for his church. It is an inclusive love that brooks no exclusive, selfish love. We are one in the Lord.
“My sense is that just because they don’t give in marriage in heaven doesn’t mean my memory banks will be wiped clean.”
There will be no nostalgia in heaven. It is clear what Jesus said about “hating” mother and father or son and daughter. If that is the comparative standard we strive for here, what will be the relationship when we are perfected?
. . .
That is the point of loving the Lord with all heart, soul, mind and strength. There is no room for a competing affection.
“Is Jesus yet resurrected? Is that resurrected body yet real or did it get done away with? Was it not the old body renewed? And did not Mary have somewhat to do with that?”
Mary’s contribution died when Jesus died and was buried when Jesus was buried. The Father by the Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead.
“Otherwise, what is the difference in terms of our identity between heaven and nirvana? Either way, you wouldn’t know who you had been.”
1Cr 15:39-44, “All flesh [is] not the same flesh: …..So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1Cr 15:45 “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.” 1Cr 15:49-54, “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
THX MUCH.
There’s not enough information given in Revelation to know what the prayers of the saints are or who they might be for.
Again the RCC takes the glory of God and doles it out to various dead people who may or may not reside now in heaven.
Do we even know for a fact that Mary is in heaven? We know the thief on the cross is in heaven , but where are the verses (other than our own assumptions) that say Mary was redeemed?
I am not doubting that she was, but the fact that we aren't told this explicitly by Christ (who did tell us explicitly about all believers and the thief on the cross) shows that Mary was no more and no less beloved by Christ than any of His flock.
Mary was not saved because she was the mother of Jesus. She was saved just like all believers are saved -- by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Virgin most venerable, pray for us. Virgin most renowned, pray for us. Virgin most powerful, pray for us. Virgin most merciful, pray for us. Virgin most faithful, pray for us. Mirror of justice, pray for us. Seat of wisdom, pray for us. Cause of our joy, pray for us. Spiritual vessel, pray for us. Singular vessel of devotion, pray for us. Mystical rose, pray for us. Tower of David, pray for us. Tower of ivory, pray for us. House of gold, pray for us. Ark of the Covenant, pray for us. Gate of heaven, pray for us. Morning star, pray for us. Health of the sick, pray for us. Refuge of sinners, pray for us. Comforter of the afflicted, pray for us. Help of Christians, pray for us. Queen of angels, pray for us. Queen of patriarchs, pray for us. Queen of prophets, pray for us. Queen of apostles, pray for us. Queen of martyrs, pray for us. Queen of confessors, pray for us. Queen of virgins, pray for us. Queen of all Saints, pray for us. Queen conceived without Original Sin, pray for us. Queen assumed into Heaven, pray for us. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us. Queen of Peace, pray for us. Queen of the Church, pray for us. Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world; spare us O Lord! Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world; graciously hear us, O Lord! Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world; have mercy on us. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ."...Virgin most prudent, pray for us.
Besides the utter insanity of some of those blasphemous titles (Tower of David; Tower of Ivory; Morning Star!) note this common prayer slips in the nomenclature of "Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world."
And then the prayer returns immediately to "Mother of God."
Anyone reading this could naturally assume the title of "Lamb of God" is in reference to Mary, along with the rest of the idolatrous titles given before and after that verse.
Not to mention that men are never going to "be worthy of the promises of Christ."
Only Christ is worthy, and His promise is to cover His flock with His righteousness.
The more that is revealed about the church in Rome, the more it stands condemned by the words it speaks and teaches.
Words count.
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:37.
No, the verse says the prayers of the saints.
AMEN!
What kind of YOPIOS is that? Yes, the indwelling Holy Spirit guides our prayers. By your logic we wouldn’t pray at all.
INDEED.
The occasional ‘milk-sops’ to The Lord Jesus The Christ
are unconvincing examples of, evidently, some of their relative occasional thoughts toward Him.
You're right. That's why the Catholic Church is not bound by the non-Biblical invention of "sola scriptura."
Apostolic succession enables to successors to the Apostles to TEACH the Church and allows tradition to play a role. This is what they Bible actually says in 2 Thessalonians 2:14.

Charity
“Charity is patient, is kind; charity does not envy, is not pretentious, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, is not self-seeking, is not provoked; thinks no evil, does not rejoice over wickedness, but rejoices with the truth, bears with all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Cor. 13:4-7).
To have Charity is to love God above all things for Himself and be ready to renounce all created things rather than offend Him by serious sin.
( Matt. 22:36-40)
