The Oddest Catholic Patron Saints | The Catholic Talk Show 

@dancingpotplant That’s awesome to read. Here’s a good one about praying to the saints, which really opened my mind regarding “praying to the dead:” Jesus was true God and true man, who spoke with the dead, that being Moses and Elijah, when He was transfigured. By doing so, there was no evil or sin Jesus committed. We are to imitate Christ, so it’s not a sin to speak to our brothers and sisters who are in heaven by asking for prayer. Moreover, those of us who are Christian are in the Body of Christ, and Paul says in Romans 8 that ultimately nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even death. Therefore, those who are in heaven, who are still part of the Body of Christ with those of us here on earth, are still connected with us in virtue of the connection we all have in Christ’s Body, because death cannot and has not separated those who are in heaven from the love of God. Furthermore, in Hebrews 11, the many heroes of the Old Testament are praised for their Godly lives, and immediately after in 12:1 it summarizes chapter 11, saying how we are “surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.” Thus, we have no reason to believe that they are not with us, in the Body of Christ, praying for us and cheering us on to win the race.

Glad you are with us Brendan! Spread the word my brother!

THATS RIGHT!!! Why didn't we include that! Great

Great idea

I love St. Rita and she was my patroness through the seminary and my discernment. I was affiliated on her feast day, but I don't know the story about the bees!

How wonderful. Yes. St Rita. They even followed her to her convent and burrowed holes in the walls. They started Out when she was a baby. There’s lots of info on St Rita and the Bees. God Bless Father!

Confession is what they need.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s a good thing if one needs to pray for a saint because of being hung over. The person needs to go to confession if that is the case, because drunkenness is sinful. Regarding praying to the saints or the Blessed Mother in general, please read this: Jesus was true God and true man, who spoke with the dead, that being Moses and Elijah, when He was transfigured. By doing so, there was no evil or sin Jesus committed. We are to imitate Christ, so it’s not a sin to speak to our brothers and sisters who are in heaven by asking for prayer. Moreover, those of us who are Christian are in the Body of Christ, and Paul says in Romans 8 that ultimately nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even death. Therefore, those who are in heaven, who are still part of the Body of Christ with those of us here on earth, are still connected with us in virtue of the connection we all have in Christ’s Body, because death cannot and has not separated those who are in heaven from the love of God. Furthermore, in Hebrews 11, the many heroes of the Old Testament are praised for their Godly lives, and immediately after in 12:1 it summarizes chapter 11, saying how we are “surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.” Thus, we have no reason to believe that they are not with us, in the Body of Christ, praying for us and cheering us on to win the race.

Bruce Banter - what do you mean?

The Catholic Talk Show At the beginning Ryan (Bearded) said “us Protestants drink Concord grape juice” something to that effect. It sounded like that was said.

Bruce Banter - Ah... that was Ryan making fun of Protestants in their persona.

The Catholic Talk Show Oh Ok, I was thrown off. I’m a recent subscriber so I didn’t know too much as to the show dynamic either than the channel title. Thanks for the clarification. You guys are awesome. Hope you guys grow in subscribers.
