ArchivedPicturesRakim Catholics also believe that we are all saints. But there are some saints that have lived extraordinary lives, and are honored, specifically because we believe those Saints to be in Heaven. Mother Teresa has been beatified, worthy to be honored. No we dont worship anything besides God. Yes we do pray to saints: Definition of the word PRAY "to make a request in a humble manner" indeed we make many humble requests to the saints, to intercede on our behalf. As to confesstion: The practice of Confession arises from the example and command of Jesus, who showed that human nature could be used by God as an instrument of grace and forgiveness. He said "That you may know that the Son of Man has the power to forgive sin..." (Mt. 9:6; Mk 2:7-10; Lk 5:21-24). The Hebrew title He used was "ben Adam" meaning "Son of Adam." This was the Hebrew way of saying "a human being." Jesus always gloried in His Humanity, since through It He redeemed us. He communicated this authority to His Apostles on Easter night, "Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven, whose sins you shall retain they are retained" (Jn 20:19-23). In this way He gave the Apostles the power to give "Peace" (v.21), which is nothing less than the reconciliation of man with God. The text even makes clear how Confession is to be conducted. Christ's representative, the priest, must decide whether to forgive or retain. Therefore, the penitent must confess each and every serious sin, that is anything which separates him from Christ. We ask Mary to Intercede for us, Mary is Not a God BUT the Mother of God. Peace |
