Text Box: INTERCESSORY PRAYER There are many who call themselves Christians, who proclaim they are like the official who asked Our Saviour to heal his son; that they pray directly to God and have no need to pray to the Saints or to the Ever Virgin Mother Mary. These same people have organized prayer lines and prayer committees. A person can contact a member of the prayer committee and that member and other members will pray with the person requesting the prayers. But none of these people will pray to the Saints, to the Virgin Mary, or to the Angels who serve God. When they refuse to pray to the Virgin Mary, and the Saints, and the Angels, because they pray directly to God, they show their lack of Faith, because Faith includes knowledge and comprehension, and these people surely lack knowledge and comprehension. Every prayer to the Ever Virgin Mary, and to the Saints, and to the Angels, is a combination prayer; that they will use the authority given to them by God to assist the one praying, and that they will join in praying to God for the intentions of the one praying. This is known as intercessory prayer. In refusing to engage in intercessory prayer, these foolish people are refusing the services of millions of Saints and Angels who are already in heaven; who already have a special relationship with God; who have become united with God. Instead, these people rely exclusively on the assistance of people who may go to hell. They are foolish. When you pray, be wise: pray to God; pray to each person of the Blessed Trinity; and pray to the Saints and Angels, and especially the Ever Virgin Mother Mary, requesting their assistance in all manners within their powers, authorities, and abilities.

Text Box: Jesus said: where two or more of you are gathered in My Name, there also am I. He also said, whatsoever you ask the Father in My Name, it will be granted unto you. It is therefore obvious that the most potent form of prayer is communal prayer. If you are alone, who do you have to pray with you? Your Guardian Angel is always with you. All the Heavenly Angels are aware of you and what your are doing. And all the Saints in Heaven are also aware of you and what you are doing. Those who ignore the Mother of God, the Angels, and the Saints, because they can pray directly to God, are stubborn and ignorant. The Devil hopes they will never change. In many ways life is a constant battle against evil, against the Devil. Who do you wish to have with you on the battlefield: a bunch of raw recruits, or an army of veterans? Ref: Eph. 5:15-21; John 4:46-53 +

Text Box: OBTAINING FAITH God has not revealed to us the how and the why of His presenting the gift of Faith to us. We know He does not withhold it from anyone. We know that in not withholding it from anyone, He presents it to everyone, in some form or another. We know that presentation is correlated with each person’s circumstances in a manner which is in accordance with Divine Justice. Does God make His presentation of the gift of Faith a stronger presentation for those who are by their character, more disposed to accept that gift? Probably not. What is more likely is that: those who are more upright of character than others, are more inclined to accept that gift of Faith; those who for what ever reasons are more inclined to believe there is a God and to acknowledge the Justice of God, are more inclined to accept the gift of faith, than are others; those who are inclined to acknowledge their own sinfulness, are also inclined to accept the gift of Faith, more than are those who ignore or otherwise do not fully and readily acknowledge their own sinfulness. No matter how God presents the gift of Faith to any person, its acceptance is dependent on that person, and not on God or God’s form and manner of presentation of the gift of Faith. A person who historically seeks their own benefit, especially without concern for others, will be less likely to accept Faith, than one who has concern for others. But just because a person has concern for others does not mean he will accept the gift of Faith. Nor will a selfish person reject the gift of Faith. A person who shows wisdom by seeking to learn about God, not because they seek to obtain an advantage, but simply for the sake of knowing about the One to whom they owe their existence, will be more inclined to accept Faith, then one who does not seek knowledge about God, or who seeks knowledge about God for the sake of obtaining an advantage.
