If you have ever asked your mother or one of your brothers or sisters to pray for you, then you have no basis for objecting to my asking Mary to pray for me. Mary is among the saints in Heaven, and Revelation tells us that the saints in Heaven pray for us who are here on earth.

Do you pray TO your relatives in heaven??? Do you kneel, bow to and pray to a picture of your great, great Grandmother and ask her to give you grace or provide for your salvation??? Are you another Catholic who claims that Catholics do not pray TO Mary give you or provide you with anything???

I see you don’t believe what is taught in the Book of Revelation.

Every person already in Heaven is a fellow Christian. Christians ask their fellow Christians to pray for them all the time. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for us on earth to ask those who are already in Heaven to pray for us.

The only way this could seem unreasonable to anyone is if his brain has been stuffed with propaganda and he has consented to the corruption and poisoning of his intellect.
