We can learn from the Saints!

[wenlove24]

Ang pangutana man gud ana if asa na ang mga saints, naa naba sa langit or naghuwat pang hukman ig balik sa Ginoo. Dili mu matter if mu pray ug saints nga wala pay kasiguruhan ug asa na ilang kalag or if ghatagan ba sila ug gahum sa Ginoo para ampoan sila UNYA mu matter if naay mga tawo mag ampo sa sa bato or kahoy or adlaw - nga murag same raman na sila nga way kapa ingnan ang pag ampo if ang gi ampoan way gahum.

allow me to share the fullest definition of prayer:

"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." But when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will, or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite heart? He who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is the foundation of prayer, Only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer.

*suffices to say that anything that does not possess the above character isn't prayer. It doesn't matter whether you revere the saints or not as long as you know what prayer means.

diritso ampo sa ginoo. if ganahan ka patabang sa mga saints ask them to help you but do not pray to them. we can learn a lot of things from the saints and even sa mga dili saints.

It matter because according to your description of prayer it mentions God not Saints, and saints are Not God - we dont even know where na sila. Jesus Christ did not even command his apostle to pray to Mama Mary his mother.

Ang examples nga gipakita ug mga teachings ni Kristo are More than enough para himuon natung sumbanan. Walay saints nga maka equal or maka kumingking sa gibuhat ni Kristo sa kalibutan.

ayaw kalain brad ha pero murag simang man gamay imong tubag. ang akong gipasabot nga dili mo matter kay ang pagtuo nimo sa mga Santos...basta kabalo lang ta unsay meaning sa prayer. mao ra na. mao ganing ang title ani nga thread we can learn from the saints kay wa may nakigkumbati nga mo ampo ba ta ngadto nila or dili. naa ra na sa tagsa2x ka tawo di ba? nya ang original nimo nga statement ani nga akong gi quote kay ingon ka dunay mga tawo nga mo ampo sa kahoy ug unsa pa to uban nimong gipangsulti mao nang gitagaan tika sa meaning sa pag-ampo. di na ka kinanglan mag ingon2x nga it matters kay akong gi define Ginoo man dili man santos. hinaut nakasabot ka.

Good day Wen.

To answer your query about KID's picture above...He is Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi a very great political and spiritual leader of India in modern times. Personally I believe that if all government leaders have his kind of socio-political-spiritual attitude? Our world would long have been at peace.......He was a very RARE soul indeed.

funny how you guys "idolized" foreign saints.. you forgot that we also have our own saint.
by the way, are these foreign saints all catholic? just curious.

"Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal"
(Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
