Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all this is good, true, and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf
"We learn, and we strive and pray to understand more and more of God's plan; and more than understanding it, to love it and to live it, especially when we don't understand it. And to realize that even when we think we understand, what we understand is only the surface of the deeper mystery. But to sense that God loves us, and never to doubt this, that is important." - Francis Cardinal Arinze

I guess we should all be praying to dead people instead of Jesus...
I guess you can see how I feel about this topic :O)
James is quite right in that EVERYTHING is attributal to God.
However, just as God CHOOSES, from time to time, to send messages by Angels so also there is nothing untoward in God choosing to allow His Angel Saint Michael to drive Satan from heaven or in God choosing a communion of saints. God did not NEED Apostles but He chose to use them and God does not need the communion of saints but that is what He has chosen. It has something to do with the family God has chosen.

Thanks Greg. I've been meaning to address this. As you can see I've neglected the blog for quite a while. I think it is important to understand that when we "pray to" a saint we aren't asking the saint to actually perform a miracle for us, but rather we are asking them to pray for and with us just as we may has one of our friends or family members.
