I guess I'll have to make it thorough next time. I never knew 4 words could be so misunderstood for evil (I feel like Trent Lott:-). I simply mean I pray to Mary not to worship, not to do adore, not to ask for forgiveness, not to ask for graces (basically what most Protestants think Catholics do); but to pray for me to the Lord our God. Just like all of the Saints, to pray for the (I know Protestants don't believe in this) Church Militant or us, Church Suffering or Purgatory, and obviously NOT Church Triumphant or heaven. You ask other people to pray for you, right? Hold on, that wasn't in the Bible. JUST KIDDING!!!!:-)I hope all of you are having a blessed Easter, and I hope you'll all be Catholics someday. How do you get a "tag line?"

You ask other people to pray for you, right? Right. We ask living people to pray FOR us, we do not pray TO them to pray for us, we do not pray TO dead people to pray for us.
What is your definition of prayer?
My definition is dialogue between God and people, especially His people.
Talking to dead people is necromancy which the bible forbids.
