St.James tells us (5:16) that “the heartfelt prayer of a good man works very powerfully”, — I think that counts for women too, don’t you? -— and there are many other examples of intercessory prayer being recommended in the New Testament (col. 1:9;2 Thes. 1:11; 2 Thes. 3:1-3).

I’m still learning about the faith. My understanding is that Satan used woman (Eve) to lure Adam into sinning. God used woman (Mary) to redeem man.

I think that counts for women too, don’t you?

I do, but where does it say that we are to pray to Madonna, i thought it says for us to pray to god in the name of Jesus.

Which has nothing whatever to do with necromancy or the prayers of Christians already in heaven. James 5:16 does not empower Mary to be omnipresent and omniscient in order to answer the billions of Catholic prayers in the world. That’s God’s job.

Rom 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (27) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Is MARY the Holy Spirit???
