LOL, I was a Protestant for the first 46 years of my life and then I had a loooong talk with Jesus and He made it as clear as day that I must become a Catholic.

Believe me, I resisted. I studied and I learned and even when I knew without a doubt that I needed to become Catholic, I dragged my feet for TEN years. In the end I had to have that last little push and when I became a Catholic, Jesus rewarded me by converting my husband and my son and his family and many of my DIL’s family.

God is good and anyone who loves God becomes good because of God and anyone who has run the race and never lost sight of God is good enough to pray for me.

Of course I pray to Jesus! I don’t think you understand how much a fervent Catholic prays. I pray several hours a day and I pray for anyone and any situation that I think needs God’s hand.

There are also a lot of things out there that I can do by volunteering and helping people and the Church and I’m also active doing those things several hours a day and I consider that another prayer or in some cases the answer to someone’s prayer.

My voice is not minor, God knows every hair on my head, I don’t have to speak a prayer to be heard by Jesus. I rarely pray for myself unless things are happening. I say prayers of adoration, contrition and thankfulness. I pray memorized prayers and spontaneous prayers. I pretty much have a running dialogue going most days.

If I hear anyone has died, I stop and pray for their souls, if I hear someone is sick I stop and pray, many times when I get on FR I spend the first 15 minutes praying just as I scan the headlines.

So yes, I pray to Jesus, I walk with Him 24/7, I go to sleep praying and I awake praying and I pray that all the saints and angels are praying with me too.
