Have you ever given any thought to what Heaven IS?
Do you really think that God must DECEIVE people in Heaven in order to make them happy? Because that’s what you just said.
You need to show where I said God deceives people.
You said that those who are in heaven are unaware of our troubles here on earth, because otherwise they would be sad and anguished.
In other words: God has to keep the blessed in heaven deceived in order for them to be happy.
If defending the proposition that the saints do not pray for us requires concocting demented claims like that, perhaps it needs rethinking.
Saint Paul tells us to offer petitions and intercessions for one another. Nobody has ever explained to me why it is good, holy, and loving for my mother to pray for me here on earth, but the moment she dies, praying for me is an attack on Jesus Christ.
The notion that my mother, in Baltimore, is filled with love and concern for me, and prays for me, and then, my mother, in Heaven, turns into a doorstop, is preposterous, ugly, and sick.
