Episode notes
How To Approach Prayers For Healing
- Faith is a necessary condition for some healings but not always sufficient.
- Seek a priest or spiritual director for personal guidance when prayers for healing struggle with doubt.
Mary's Fiat And Marital Covenant
- Mary's acceptance of Gabriel's message doesn't mean she broke any betrothal covenant.
- God respected Mary's free will and chose her knowing she would freely consent.
Why Saints' Intercession Isn't Necromancy
- Distinguish necromancy from asking saints to intercede; necromancy seeks information from the dead.
- Catholics may ask saints to present petitions to God, which is different and permitted.
