LOL and even more LOL. I don’t know whether you intended your comment to be witty, but it is one of the best comments I have read anywhere. So apt, clever, a little ironic. And if you didn’t intend to write a gem of a description of part of the process to become a saint, please do not take my comment as a criticism, it is not. You have a 100% A+ rating in my book!!
 
I have a baby brother who was born prematurely and was baptized before he died.
I pray to him.
 
Yes, I occasionally pray to my parents too.

I haven’t yet been able to do much praying to my husband.
It’s kind of along the lines of, "Hey D, you didn’t pray much on earth, but where you are now, assuming you’re in Heaven like I think you are, then you have a lot of time on your hands to pray so get off your duff and pray for me and help me with all this stuff I have to do now that you are gone! "
 
Thanks for that. I wasn’t aware people within the Church criticized Mother Angelica. That’s just wrong. She was so direct and sincere.

Bishop Barron is right about how the Church tried to throw out all sense of the supernatural in the 70s. It was ridiculous because the culture was after all that mystical experience stuff but the Church wanted to throw it out in the trash and do social justice 24/7. Social justice needs to go hand in hand with faith and prayer, as Pope John Paul II illustrated quite well in Poland. I think this mindset of throwing out all the supernatural stuff is one of the reasons why I drifted away for so many years. So happy that the sense of the supernatural is back - and I’m back.
