Why don't we pray to Mary and the Saints?

Posted in: Miscellaneous, Prayer Articles
By Answered by Randy Alcorn
 

We don’t pray to Mary and the various saints because they are not God, and they have no power to answer prayer. It doesn’t matter whether they know what’s happening on Earth; we should not pray to them, anymore then we should pray to our friends on Earth because they know what’s happening in our lives.
