SfK : Id iliu lus' isMie of the Ado
rate appeared an article, signed by jou
relating to t lie pruyr ol tin- Irishman
lost in tho Woods, uii'l which was men
tioned in the History l r..k County. It
should always be h p'ensant task to (five
information, win n in one's power, to
those asking il. but the task becomes
doubly so when the i. quest is couched
in language so jn-i.t 'i n unl as your-,
nod uo different Iroin that generally ns
ruuied when the s.. me subject is men
tier. ca. Add lo this y. i i r sincerity nnd
earnestness, which is so evident in every
line of your short nrtiele. and to supply
the information desired becomes not on
ly a pleasure hut a duty.
Tefore proceeding lo consider whelh
rr the lliessed Viruin Mary aud th
wiuts in Heaven c:m hear the wjttests
which we make tn them, it may he well
to mention i lie manner in which they
are regarded by the Catholic Church,
which is the only church which pays to
them peculiar and especial honor, utid
which admits their powers of interces
sion. You arc peifectly coircct when
you say, "I suppose that those who
' pray to the Virgin Mary' and other
saiuts, would say that they only intend
by this to ask them to intcrceJo (or us
just 88 we ask Christian frieuJs on
earth to pray for us." You have exact
ly stated the position held by Catholics
upon the subject of the intercession ol
saints. But the doctrine of the Catho
lic Church on this point is almo.it uni
versally misrepresented by those, who
dissent from her, but it is so clear nnd
-explicit that nothing short i f the gross
est ignorance or prejudice can excuse
thow who make use of the cam mot) ar
guments against the devotion the
Bleated Virgin Mary ami the other
esiiuts. Tho Catholic Chureh gives t''
Miry the most exulted place next to
God Himself, and pays to her great ho

Tb? following example- bhow how
l.i-tly the euily wrifers of tnc church
drew tho distinction whieh Catholics
fiit do. Ht. Kj ijihatiio" thus writes of
thu Ulcited Virgin, repraving the errors
of the Collyiidiau hciilici, who adored
lier aud offiiicd ta :i iliee to her : "Tho'
therefore, the was a c'.iofcen Voste!, und

was n woman, partaking of our common

honor shown to the saints of Ood. She
stands before them nil, on account of
the heavenly mystery accomplished in
her. I3ut we adore tin saint ; nnd as
this worship is not piven to anucls,
much less can it be allowed to the daugh
terof Ann. Let Mary then be honor
ed, but the Father, Son, and Holy Ghos'
alone be adored ; let no one. adore Mary."
The fori'froinc is merely intended as a
brief exposition f the manner in which
the church regard.1 tho position ol the
i;icsed Virgin Mary. She neither a
doies her nor asks her for forgiveness,
but Mary being the Mother of Und, she
believes that she can neither too much
honor or piaise hor. She believes that
our Lord .Jesus ''hrist. when dying up.
011 thq cross, gave her to us, through
the person of fit. John, ts our Mother,
and that she will be our most powerful
intei cesser at the throne of Grace. In
the G of pel according to St. John we
read: " Now there stood by the cross of
Jesus, II is Mother, and Ilia Mother's
sister, Mary of Cleophas, aud Mary
M;t ielene.
When Jesus, therefore, raw His
mother nnd (bedefeiple standing, win in
He loved, lie saith to His mother: wo
man, behold thy son.
AftT that lie saith lo the desciplo :
Uphold thy mother. And from that
hour the desciplo took her to his own-',
In thus receiving from God Himself
His mother to lie a mother to us, what
i more natural than that wc should re
gard her with the most tender nfieetion ;
what more bentitiful than that, in nil
our didieullii'S, we should fly to her in
spirit and ask her assistance, her pray
ers and her intercession. If it should
be asked, why not appeal to God Him.
sell' without employing any mediator, I
would say that God although a God of
mercy, is also n God of justice, and
that His Divine jtii-tiee would often de
mand the punishment, of the sinner
rather than hi forgiveness ; but Mary
is peen'i.irly the Queen of Mercy, n
she is called by the church ; to her does
not belong the attribute of justice, but
of compassion and of sympathy ; her lov
ing heart overflows with pity for the poor
sinner for whose redemption the blood
ol hnr 1 I i no Ron was shel, nnd rather
than ti.nt divine sacrifice should be in
vain, she begs of her Son his pardon
and forgiveness How beautiful is, the
idea of the sinner, laden down with
ciitucs and transgressions, trembling
wi'h dread before the maj'-sty and the
Justice of (Jod, and not daringo appear
before Him, or to address Ilim, iest the
thundeiholts of His just wrath should be
hurled upon him, carting himsell nt
the feet of Mary and begging her to in
let cede for him. lepgiog her, pure and
undi 21ed, to a-k her son to suspend His
justice and allow her to exercise her at
tr.hule of mercy. When the sinner
has recourse to Mary, she only reiiuires
liim to have the intention to reform.
She does uot regard the sins wiih whi :h
ho is laden, when he implore his uicicy,
but tily the intention with which he
comes. 'J'lionah he have committed all
the sins iu the world, she embrace him
nnd intercedes for Lini, for the is not
only called by us the Mother of Mercy,
but he is such, and shows herself such
by the love und tt iidernets with which
tho succors xi. What has been said of
the manner iu which the chuich regards
the position of Mary, will also pply to
the oiV.er saints in heaven. We honor
Mary more than wo honor them, that is
we pay to her a higher honor, because
sho is tho Mother of God; wc honor
them because, in this life, they were His
faithful servants, beerus" they fulfilled
His laws mid obeyed 1 1 is commandments,
and aiv, io consequence, now enjoying
with Him, the tloiy' of His kingdom.
1 hey arc now reaping tho reward which
He has promised to all who faithfully
serve Him, and tin they honored Ilim in
life, S3 lie now honors theru iu eternity.
Ae e ask Mary, 60 we only ak them,
for their iutcieession and prayers. And,
in this connection, if I may be allowed
to digrets for a moment, I would speak
of the eroneous ideaa entertained by
those who ditler from us, regarding our
use of cruoifixes, isuigca, pictures tc.
It is veld that we adore the and that
we bc'.ioTo they have power to help us.
Nothihg h more unjust, nothing farther
from the truth. How could we believe
that inanimate wood or stone, carved or
fashioned into figur-s or forms, coold
have power to help us ? The assertion
is too preposterous to reptile, were it not
that it is so frequently made. We have
cruci6xcs in our houses to remind us of
the goodness of God ; we have pictures
of the saints as examples, constantly be
fore us, to imitate and to follow. They
are books in which the most unlettered
can read ; they are books whose pages
teem with lessons the most suuestive
Where is the man wiiosu heait does not
overflow with aflectiou when looking up
on the picture of u deceased mother or
wife; where the woman who is uot fi 1

with tearful eyes, she views the inani
mate likeness of the father of her chil
drcu.once her devoted protector aud bus.
band, now, a lifeless form, returned to
his mother Earth ? Aud who, when
looking upon the symbol of his redemp
tion, seeing the dying agonies of the
I)ivine lace of Him who was fursskcn
by nil even by His hoavnly Futber,
an! almost hearing those agonized iic
cents: "My God, my God, why hast,
thou lorsaken me V cuo fail to feel re
newed and tenfold love for Him who died
to save him. This, then, is why we have
images and pictures, not that they inani
mate objects, may help us. but that they
may inspire us, by the silent lessons they
teach, to initiate those whom they rep
resent. Let us now proceed to cot-fider
the main part of our subject. You say :
" Hut before I ask departed saints to
pray for me, I wish to know whrtlfr
th-y nut have my rtqiust. If they can
not it would he absurd lo ask them-'
You admit that the Hlessed Virgin Ma.
ry mid the Saints would intercede will
ingly for us were they aware that we
wished them to do so, or in other words :
" if they could tor our request." It
the saints cannot hear the requests of the
the faithful upon earth, it is most un
doubtedly a work of absurdity to usk
their assistance and prayers. That they
' hear us, I think can be established
without difficulty both from the Bible
and from other sources; undt hat they not
only hear us. but grant us their inter
cession and good offices is equally sus
ceptible of ptoof.
As God is the essence and the primal
source of'all knowledge and of all truth,
as the Ulossed iu heuveu see end under
stand Him most intimately, and as tho
happinass of heaven consists in lovitii;
and knowing God, theiefore the blessed
see in Him the knowledg which He
possesses of us and and thus understand
our wants and our desires. Thus in the
first gospel of St. John, 8 chap. 2 verse,
we read :
" Iearly Delovod, wo are now the
sons of God; audit hath not yet ap
peared what we shall be. We know,
that when He shall appear, we shvl In
like to Him; because we shall see Ilim
as he is." 41 But it hath uot yet iji)f "
what we ahall be." that is, to what niy
or happiness we rhall thereby fie exal
ted hcrealtcr, ' for neither the eve bath
seen, nor the ear heard, nor bath it en
ti red into the heart of man, whit things
God hath prepared for those who love
Him" (1 Cor. 9 chap. 2 verse.) Wc
only know this, that His elect shall he
like to Him; because they shall .-re Ilim
as He is, when they shall enjy Him in
heaven, and beimr like to Him who
knows all things, they xhnil It rotj izaiit
uf all things concerning s. It is prom
ised that the saints of God shall he. tike
to Ilim, and sht.ll see Him an I undnr
stand Hun at lie it. Then when the faith
ful upou earth pray to God for lavors for
mercy or tor pardon, the saints knowing
and seeing Him at lie it will read in
His couutenunee the prayer which is
being made anJ will add their interces
sion to it; or, in the same manner, when
a prayer is made to a Saint aireetly .that
Saint will read the prayer in the coun.
tenauce of God, by virtue of the gift
which God has given him of seeing and
knowing Him as He is, and will imme
diately add his prayers to it We must
remember, when speaking of the saints
hearing us. that they do not hear with
mortal ears, ice with mortal eyes or
(peak with nortal tongues, but that
they hearour petitions through Almighty
God who is cognisant of all things
In the book ot Tobias which, what
ever you think of its eanooicity, was
never rejected by Christ who frequent
referred the Jt wg to the scriptures 12
chap 11 and 12 verses, we read these
words ol the Archangel Raphael:
" I discover then the truth unto you
and I will tint hide the secret from you
When thou didst pray with tours, und
didst thou bury tho dead, und didst
leave thy dinner, and didst hide the
dead by day in the houso, and bury
them by night, I offere.a thy prayer to
the Lonl." Here is direct proof of an
aelic intercession. God undoubtedly
heard the prayers of Tobias, nnd yet
the Archangel tells him, that he offeted
thm to the Lonl. If there be no need
of mediators between the Creator and
the creature, why did Haphuel interpose
his intercession ? And if you object
that this was th mediation of an Angel
und not of a mint, I must tell you that
we at e elsewhere taught that " the saints
of God shall be like His angels." (Mat.
22 chap. "0 verse.) Hut is there any.
thing io the New Testament which
wou'd lead us to believe that our Savior
rejected this doetrne? On the contra
ry He speaks of it as a thing well under
stood, aud on tcrrrs far removed from re
proof." Evcu so," says He, ' there shall
be joy in heaven upon one sinner that,
doth pennance, more than upon ninety
nine just that need not pennance." Luke
15 chap. 7 aud U' verses.) Vhatis here
meant but that the repentance ot the
sinner is known in heaven lo the saints
and angel and that they rejoice over it.
Christ also tells us: "Take heed that
you despise not one of these little ones;
for I say to you, that their angels i
hi aven always see the lace et my Fath
er who is iu heaven." Here we have,
not only uu instance of angelic protec
tion, hut a direct implication, from our
Lord Himself, that the angels will re
sent uny injury (spiritual) dune to those
under thfir charge. It is also a prool
that the Hlessed in heaven do know
what pulses on this earth aud that they
know ii. iu the supernatural manner be
fore mentioned, tor He does not say
that their angels iu heaven know these
things, but that " their angi Is in heaven
always tee the Jacc of my Father who
is in heuveu," that is. they read in the
countenance of God what concerns us
iu this life.
Agaiu iu Luke, 10 chap. 9 verse, we
read : " And I say to you : Make to
yourselves friends of the mammon of in
iquity ; that when you shall fail, they
way receive you into everlasting dwell,
ings." Here is a direct command lo make
friends of the poor servants of God, be
cause if wc relieve them in this life, by our
alius, they may hereutter, by their inter
ees.ion, brins: our souls to heaven. And
what a beuutilul thought is thisl A' hat
a consolation Jo the rich man, when the
t'-m. ination of his mortal existence is
approaching, to think that he will have
ns many iutercesvirs befo'o the thtonu
uf Gi.d. as he has relieved in thi-i lile.
The rich give tu the poor temporal trea
sioes. I he latter recompeuce I hem by ob
taining for them infinite nnd eternal
liuppiuesb-
Agaiu in the parable of Dives and
Iizarus, satuo chapter, 22 verse we
lead :
" And it cume to pass that the beg
furdicd, and he was carried by the an
gels into Abraham's bosom. And the
rich man also died; and ho was buried
in hell.
Aud liftintr up his eyes, when he was
iu torment, he saw Abraham afar off
und Lafarus in his bosom ; and he ctied
and said : Father Abraham, have mercy
on me, and scud Lazirus, that he may
dip the tips ot his fingers in water, to
cool my tongue, for I am tormented in
this flame. And Abraham said to him r
Son, remember thpt thnn didst receive
good things in thy life time, mid like,
wise Lazarus evil things ; but now he
is comforted and thou ni t tormented.
In the parable two point. are developed,
botk njiroj-.ot to our subject. V.'e Cud
the rich man, when in torment, legjifg
the a iif of Abraham, and we find f Jl th
er that his cries are heard by Abraham,
who refuses Lin request, aud gives him
tie reasons for his refusal.
Turning now to the Apocalypse, 5
chap. 8 verse, we read: " And when
he had opened the houk, the four living
creatures, and the four and twenty an
cients, fell down before the Lamb, hav
ing every one of them harps, and golden
vials full of odors, which are. the. prey
ert of the taints." These harps arc
the symbols of the praise which good
men rcudcr (o God; und the rials full
of odots represent tho ptayers of the
saints. In conformity with this idea,
St. John wishes to represent these four
und twenty ancients as so many pcii.i
tors who present to the Almighty the
prayers and homages of good men ou
earth. And if you say that "these
prayers of the saints " are not those of
faithful on earth, and arc not offered np
for them, I would itsk you for whom
are they oflered up? The saints do not
pray for themselves or for each other,
for having attained a state of perfect
happiness they have nothing more to
desire for themselves, consequently the
prayers must he for others, and those
others must be the faithful in this world.
In Apocalypse, 2 chap, 2(5 verse, we
read: "And he that shall overcome,
and keep my wrirks unto the end, to him
I will give puutr over the. nations." This
shows that the saints, who are with
Christ our Lord iu heaven, receive pow
er from him to preside over nations and
provinces as patrons. Webster do Guts
a patron to be " a protector, a detcn lor.
one (hut specially couutcuaticus aud sup
ports, or lend.) aid to advance." It the
saints, then, are appointed our protcc.
tors und defenders, it must be for our
spiiitual good, they miibt be able to hear
our pctuions and relieve our watts, by
reason of their interest with God, oih
erwise then rppointed as our patrons
would be fruitless, but to suppose this is
in insult to Almigh.y God, who never
does anything which is unnecessary or
a fixed object.
In 1 Corinthians, 13 chap 12 verse,
St. Paul foreshadows the knowledge
which the saints possess of tcrrestial
things : ' We soc now through a class
in an obscure manner; but then face to
face. Mow I know iu part; but then I
shall know even as I tun known," that
is: Hereafter I shall know others even
as am known vow by the saints in
heaven. The liibKcul proof sustaining
the invocation ol the saints and their
intercession for as miht he c irried much
further, ind I niii:ht multiply texts in
proof of what I have asserted. If I
have succeeded in convincing yo'i 'hat
the Hlessed in heaven can hear our jo
titions, as far as Bible proof is c incorn .
ed, I shall feel that my time is WjII
socnt ; but if you still remain unsatis
fied, I must only say to you as you often
suy to us "search the Scriptures," end I
assure you you will find proof enough
Next week I hope to be able to continue
