Ep. 49 - How does intercessory prayer work?

Published: Nov. 7, 2020, 12:29 a.m.

It's Father Craig Friday! This is a segment from our podcast Wisdom Bytes where a Catholic priest answers and talks about your questions! -- Today Fr. Craig and David discuss: 1. How does intercessory prayer work? Like when we ask saints to pray for us and when we pray for others. I learned that prayer exists out of time and space, so can we pray for people from the past and future? Going deeper, can we pray for our family members/friends during their moment of judgement? 2. I love home decorating and buying candles. Is it damaging to the spiritual life to live excessively? Not just in extreme situations like spending thousands on clothes/jewelry and material items but also things like buying unnecessary smaller things like candles (not religious candles, just ones to scent the home) when that money could go somewhere more charitable? 3. Is there a minimum or maximum age for Holy Orders? -- Further Reading from this episode: Consoling the Heart of Jesus By Michael E.
