I do not think it is prudent to argue about things you do not understand. The words recited in the "Hail Mary" are scriptural. Our church has not led us astray. You may choose to believe what you would like to believe. You are right about Jesus, though. He does seek all of His lost lambs, and surely that description fits most of us from time to time.

Your thoughts are mine on that one Ohioan.   FReegards.

Great, then you're the one who can tell me what the scriptural source is for praying to saints who have died and are in heaven. Where is that?

I ask this because you have assured me that the Hail Mary is scriptural. The Hail Mary is a prayer to Mary, who has died and is in heaven, right?
