OMG Deenie...LOL

Answer 6

Just thought I'd add this in there.

Although it's technically st patrick's day on the monday, this year we were meant to celebrate it last friday. that's because it's holy week now and because it's a time of mourning we're not meant to celebrate anything or have any feast days this week. but i think it's good to have two days to celebrate it anyway.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yes.

Most Christians believe that our friends and loved ones in heaven do know what is going on on Earth and that we can ask them to pray for us.

Catholics share the belief in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal, and Methodist Churches.

The Communion of Saints is the belief where all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When you die and go to heaven, you do not leave this family.

Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

As part of this family, you may ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you may also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.

Prayer to saints in heaven is simple communication, not worship.

Asking others to pray for you whether your loved ones on Earth or your loved ones in heaven is always optional.

With love in Christ.
