Muslims always say and write peace be upon him (pbuh) after the names of their prophets. Do we, as Catholics, have a way of respectful acknowledgment for the Saints and Mother Mary? Or even for the Trinity?
 
Hi,

Traditionally, Catholic bow the head at the name of Jesus. The Litany of the Saints addresses them as ‘Saint’ or 'Holy" as in ‘All you holy patriarchs and prophets’ and Mary, as 'Holy Mary, Holy Mother of God, Holy Virgin of virgins. She has many titles. Catholics have been showing such respect long before Islam ever existed.
