“You don’t need to ask your family members for prayers...you have Christ Himself taking your prayers and praying on behalf of you to the Father.”

Oh sure. You think Catholics disagree with you?

We can take it to Christ whenever we want, and he will hear us and help us. But we are commanded by Christ to pray for one another! You ask, we’ll do what we can to ask Christ to help you. Just as you would for us.

Many do. As I said...I've had Catholics say to me that they feel too dirty to go directly into God's presence.

But we are commanded by Christ to pray for one another!

When you find this command given by Christ it is only given to the living, not those who have passed on.

Yes. those words are to those who still occupy this earthly body. It’s really VERY clear.
