Thank you for your reflection. It is a very good one. I, too, have heard people say that they prefer to go directly to God or the Holy Spirit for help, and not to Mary or the Saints. And that is very much the view of Protestants, and is one of the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism.

And if I was a betting man, I would bet that the pastor you are referring to is one of the Protestant denominations. It is a contradiction to only pray to God, but then be alright with someone praying for you, or you praying for someone. A contradiction that is not realized.

God bless.

I love the way you explained the Communion of Saints as “middle men and women” for Jesus. It makes so much sense since we are all connected as part of His Mystical Body. Mark- I believe Abraham interceded for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah on their behalf by prayer and petition to God. Through his intercession (an act of mercy, not vengeance like James and John proposed) God saved the innocent ones through the angel. Hope that helps Have a blessed day.

It was two angels of God who tried to find righteous people in Sodom. Abraham negotiated with God to refrain from destroying those cities if God found a certain number of righteous people (Abraham got God to whittle that number down to 10 people…of which God could not find that number and destroyed the cities in the end). Genesis 18 and 19.

Maybe James and John were remembering scripture about a group of people who refused to listen to the word of God thru a middle man. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Abraham try to convince the people of Sodom and Gomorrah to change their ways? They didn’t and fire rained down from Heaven.

Mark
