In 2nd Corinthians 1:11, Paul says the prayers of the many strengthens and blesses a faith community.
it says prayers OF many. Not prayers TO many.

Jesus also says HE is the way. Jesus also said not to pray to anyone else.



1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Do you not ask your family and friends to pray for you when you are facing some tribulation?


Do you say “Hail, grandma sue, full of grace. The lord is with the...”? Because that’s not asking for prayers. That’s praying to them. Why not use your time talking to God?

Catholics agree that Christ alone is the sole mediator between man and God and that God alone is worthy of worship as Paul stated 1 Timothy 2:5. Yet in the preceding verses, 1 Tim. 2:1–4, Paul implores ALL Christian to intercede in prayer and supplication for each other:

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and pleasing to God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.””

Since Catholics believe heaven is an actual place filled with the souls of the faithful departed, why would Catholics not beseech the saints in Heaven to intercede with prayers and supplications on their behalf? Paul says it pleases the Lord when we do so.

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" is directly from the Gospel of Luke. Apparently, even an angel of God held her in high regard.
