Peux-tu prier pour les pécheurs ?

bornagain, In this day with so much animosity toward Christianity, wouldn't we be better served by encouraging each other in faith and praying for each? We have a common enemy, the Devil, and we should fight together to against evil. Blessings

As a former protestant minister, now convert to the Catholic Church, I'd like to respond to your two points. 1. God revealed the New Testament through the Church. The Bible itself points to this reality. After all, Peter, James and John weren't using the written Gospels as their liturgical Scripture. They used the Old Testament. Thus, the Church existed prior to the writing of the New Testament. 2. "Scripture Alone" is not scriptural. Check out John 21. In Christ's Love.

@bornagain841 Two points for you sister or brother-in-Christ. Unfortunately, there is Biblical Christianity, and then there's Catholicism. They will never agree with each other because the first adheres to Scripture alone. The former believes in the "Traditions of the Chruch" and the "infallible" pronouncements of the pope and Magisterium; even if what they state IS in opposition to Scripture. One has to make a decision as to who they will believe: The Bible or the Church. Peace to all.

There is no other Savior that our Lord Jesus Christ. Intercession (asking someone that is closer to God to pray for you on your behalf), benefits by multiplying the strength of our prayers as we plead God for his mercy. The Blessed Virgin Mary comes to us as an aid, because she was a sinless human. We do not worship her, we ask her for help. Another word for "pray" is "beg". We "beg" her to tug Jesus and say, "Hey, listen to this prayer they are asking me to ask you!"
This is beautiful!

A Scripture which helped me to understand Saints was John 11:25-26. In Christ, those who believe in Him will never die. So for a Catholic, invoking a Saint is not at all like calling up a Spirit from Sheol, but rather talking to a brother or sister still alive, in and thanks to Christ the Lord.

@bornagain841 In 2 Maccabees 43-44, scripture describes prayers on behalf of the dead. Many Protestants do not accept 1 and 2 Maccabees as divinely inspired, but they still represent a historically accurate account of Jewish practice of the time.
Now consider John 2:3-5. Mary appeals to her son, our Lord, on behalf of another. So, if we can pray on behalf of the dead and we can also ask Mary to bring our concerns to her son, Jesus, what does it matter if she is still alive?

@ksink74 What does that have to do with praying to someone who is dead? The doctrine of Mary being assumed into Heaven was nor defined until the last century. I can ask a brother in Christ to pray for me but only if he is alive. Jesus and only Jesus can hear anyone's prayer. Please be aware that I Base all my theological positon on scripture only.

@AK8591 Your welcome, and I wish you well. Your going to *love* Father Kentanich! He is the founder, and is now in Heaven with the Mother he so loved, and her Son, whom he loved to serve. He wrote some of the most Beautiful prayers! Good luck, and God Bless!
Blessed Mother, keep me and guard me as your property and possession.

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
