283: Yes, You Should Pray to the Saints! (w/ Dr. Karlo Broussard)
Manage episode 463680670 series 2499150
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by speaker, author, and accomplished Catholic Answers apologist Dr. Karlo Broussard to talk about praying to the saints.
How do we know it's OK to pray to the saints? Why would the Church encourage it when it seems discouraged in the Bible? How do we know they can hear us? How is that even possible?
This, and much more, as Karlo uses Scripture and evidence from the Early Church to explain why it isn't only OK to pray to the saints but actually encouraged – and a very, very good practice!
For more from Karlo check out Catholic Answers and his website. His book, The Saints Pray for You is available everywhere.
