Serious question - not looking to argue with anyone here.
When catholics pray to Michael or Mary, do they do so aloud or silently? Because they are not omniscient. They are not able to read your thoughts or your mind.
They are also not omnipresent. So unless they just happen to be hanging out with you, at work, at home, wherever you are, they are not going to hear your prayer, even if you pray aloud.
If God, Christ, and his Angels are dimensional beings, you inner mind is therefore a window for them. Aloud or silently, if you need them to hear it, they will. Some things they cannot act on though and other things they could/can. But they hear you my friend and along your timeline, in some mysterious way, they will help with what they can.
God, absolutely. But I have not seen anything in the bible to suggest that angels hear or answer prayers.
Well God or Christ sends them. But Iām sure the Angles have loooooong standing mission orders they can act on with instant blessing or rebuke.
And you and I are just guessing anyway haha. Who knows how it all really works communication-wise between them. š
That's why I believe it's best to look to what the bible says about the subject. Jesus Himself taught the apostles how to pray. And He never said it's acceptable to pray to created beings (angels, Mary.)
I'm sure some people think I'm just trying to pick a fight, and with sincerity, I am not. I just want to understand why catholics believe it's okay to pray to them. I don't see any biblical support for this and it's a pretty huge deal in the catholic church. I know, because I was raised catholic, l had first holy communion, confirmation and went to catholic school, learned catechism (for more than being taught the bible) and so forth.
In fact, I can distinctly remember being taught by a nun that since Mary is Jesus' mother, He will obey her. So if we pray to her to ask for something, she will tell Him and He will answer our pray and give it to us because He has to be an obedient son.
But nobody has been able to answer this question with biblical proof. And to me, it's a very, very serious thing. Because I love Jesus with all my heart and I want all people to know and love Him the way that I do. And I honestly, sincerely wonder and doubt the salvation of some catholics based on this issue.
