I have a few questions on intercessory prayer.
First, I was raised Protestant and am in RCIA right now. Being that I have not yet joined the RCC, is it appropriate for me to ask a saint for intercession? I pray the Rosary, but I’m not certain if asking another saint other than Mary to pray for a situation is…allowed, I guess?
Second, how would I know who to ask for intercession? Someone I know is in Scientology and I’ve been feeling a burden to pray for him, but I’m not certain who I should ask. My first thought was Bishop Fulton Sheen after I read online that he was one of the first celebrities targeted for conversion by L. Ron Hubbard, but I wasn’t sure if it would be snarky rather than loving for me to do so or even if he’s in a position in the afterlife to intercede.
TIA, and please be gentle. I really want to do the right thing here.
