Char says...
Yes, we Catholics ask the angels and saints and Mary the Mother of Our Lord to pray for us and join their prayers with ours and we know with our whole heart that they do, and we love them for ir. We might light a candle to symbolise that. Under an altar? Waiting to be kings and priests?
Dear Char....
This is where I must agree to disagree with you.
I must test it against CHRIST. I must test it against what is written.
We are to Pray to the father ONLY through the SON!
Christ ONLY as our high priest!
None of these people died for me!
If you say you " ask them to pray for you" then you must be praying to them FIRST which is a no- no.
You have to go before them in spirit and ask them to pray for you in order for them to hear you and pray for you. That is no-no.
CHRIST is the only WAY dear Char. No one else!
What do think the promise is to those holy saints in the kingdom?
Revelation 5:9-11
Didn't CHRIST tell them they would " sit on thrones". It is said by our lord and written.
I must disagree my sister
Love to you always

Test away as much as you like, justmom. If you look at what I wrote, I spoke of Catholics. Of myself.
You're not a Catholic, so why would it apply to you?
If anyone expected you to agree with what Catholics do, they'd be absolutely barking mad. Fortunately, Catholics aren't in the least bit worried about what you think, and nor am I.
