Oh really...prove it in scripture.
in addition to our own prayers
Would appear your prayers are good enough.
The Rosary includes the Our Father.
Once God is mentioned, everywhere else is praying to Mary in the Rosary...the focus is on her.
You seem hung up on the fact that she is not here in the flesh presently.
Not at all hung up..it's a fact she is not alive here on earth. She is safely with the Lord.
I don’t understand this at all. You believe that the Holy Spirit is inside of you, helping you to pray, and that Christ is right there beside you.
You are right...you do not understand nor can you as long as you believe and practice idolatry and continue to dishonor Christ by praying to Mary. You are blinded by your practices which Jesus clearly said not to do...and which the scripture says if your do these you will become like the idols you worship...blind and cannot hear...the truth.
The catechism says that we can ask any of the Saints to pray for us to God.
Well of course it does...where did you get the Catechism from? Romes teachings and their bondage of it's members to things taught by men... which oppose the clear teachings of what God instructed...and keep it's members blind to the truth..just as they did in the middle ages.
Amen! Great post.
