Heavenly Father, we thank you for President Trump.
We ask Lord for a hedge of protection around him, his family and his campaign. We ask you to anoint his steps and every word from his mouth. We pray you give him strength, clarity, wisdom and boldness.
Expose and destroy all evil enemies that would attempt to come against him in every way. Bless him and give him victory in all the battles he will face. Father, please turn America back to the only GOD that has so richly blessed her and on which this nation was founded.
We give you all the praise, glory and honor. In the name of your Son Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
Ok. Enough. St. Paul wrote in his letters how he prayed for the early Church. How many people approached Jesus in his earthly life for another? We are all aware that Jesus is the one Mediator. We ask our heavenly brothers and sisters to pray for us. Do you have a mom and dad? One of them was the boss. One was the soft touch. How many times did you go to the other one first to pave the way for you? My girls used to come to me with “Can you talk to Dad for us?” It’s much the same way with Our Lady and the Saints. Sinner as I am, I’m ashamed to approach Almighty God. There’s safety in numbers. I’ll rely on, and ask for, my heavenly friends to pray for me. You do you. I’ll do me. We’re all on the same side. And I’ll pray for you♥️🙏🏻♥️
Serious question from someone raised catholic, first holy communion, confirmation, went to catholic school, etc. Not looking for an argument.
When you pray to Mary or Michael, do you do it audibly or do you pray silently? Because they're not omniscient, so if you're praying silently, they're not going to hear you.
And they're also not omnipresent, so unless they just happen to be hanging around your house or wherever you are, they're not going to hear you even if you are praying aloud.

A much better and more biblical prayer than praying to an angel.
God / Jesus is our mediator. We pray to Him and He commands the angels on our behalf.
There is no example in scripture of praying to angels, saints or anyone besides God. That all came later and conflicts with scripture:
1 Timothy 2:5

So how do you contend with that?
We have faith that our prayers are heard, we hope our prayers are heard, and we pray charitably. Faith, hope, charity.
