When we Catholics pray and worship at Holy Mass, we surely and obviously pray to and worship God. Why, then, the Rosary. Well, from the earliest of times, indeed even before the Catholic Church came into existence through the will of Jesus Christ, there was intercessory prayer. People would pray for their people when they were ill or otherwise unfortunate. They would also pray for the dead. Praying for the dead is also a form of intercessory prayer. Here are some Biblical examples:INTERCESSORY PRAYER TO SAINTS Rom 15:30 -join me by your prayers to God on my behalf Col 4:3; 1 Thess 5:25 - pray for us 2 Th 1:11 - we always pray for you 2 Th 3:1 - finally, brothers, pray for us Eph 6:18-19 - making supplication for all the saints & for me Tob 12:12 - angel presents Tobit & Sarah's prayer to God Rev 5:8 - angel offers prayers of the holy ones to God *Saints dead, prayer is necromancy (Dt 18:10-11) Mk 12:26-27 - he is God of the living, not of the dead Mk 9:4 - Jesus seen conversing with Elijah and Moses Lk 23:43 - this day you will be with me in paradise Rev 6:9-11 - martyrs under altar want earthly vindication Heb 12:1 - we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses Lk 16:19-30 - departed rich man intercedes for brothers Rev 20:4 - saw the souls of those who had been beheaded Wis 3:1-6 - the souls of the just are in the hand of God *i Tim 2:S "One Mediator between God and man''"' 1 Tim 2:1-7 - offer prayers, petitions for all men 1 Pet 2:5 - be a holy priesthood to offer sacrifices thru Christ Mk 10:18 - only God is good Mt 25:23 - well done my good and faithful servant Jn 10:11-16 -1 am good shepherd; one flock, 1 shepherd Jn 21:15-16 - feed my lambs, tend my sheep Eph 4:11 - he gave some as apostles ... others as pastors Heb 3:1, 7:24, 9:12-13 - Jesus eternal high priest; one sacrifice Rev 1:6, 5:10 - he made us a kingdom of priests for God Mary in the Rosary is the Saint to whom we place our request to pray for us. Within the realm of Christianity, death does not separate the living and the dead. We remain members of the Body of Christ and we believe in an afterlife. Because of this belief, we can place requests to our friends in high places [like Mary]. In no way does this demean God. It was God, afterall who chose Mary to be the mother of His only Son.
