    This story clearly tells us what the teachings of Islam. Muslims converted non Muslims with sword and sex slavery. People we should not believe in any Muslims even today. They are deceivers as if they are honest but they trap capture young girls and women. Muslim men are pedophiles as their prophet Mohammed taught them. Islam is the Devilish religion, they only work only for women and sex. Islam is satanic and keeps guard yourselves.

    When I first visited Lourdes, my life was tramsformed by prayer offered to the Holy Virgin Mary: the Immacate Conception, for all sick people. A great heavenly power existed in these prayers. When I visited Nevers as part of a Benedictine Pilgrimage, in the Church there, where very close by one could sense a massive power felt through the Power of Prayer, a unique visitor from Heaven in full heavenly glory stood there in "exquisite soul" status, before me in the Church where she lay and still does. Her name was and is Saint Bernadette. What a truly wondrous experience and extremely great direction with comfort for us, on our pilgim journey here on earth to Heaven. 🎶Amazing Grace.!"🎶 🎶How great Thou art.."🎶 Eternal "Thank You God" to You, Our Lady our Blessed Mother and Holy Angels and Saints in Heaven! Keep Faith, Hope and Love everyone for, in God's time, "nothing here compares to the Glory" that awaits us in Heaven: our permanent home. Truthfully! HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY, WITH VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO SAINT BERNADETTE! (And all the Holy Saints in Heaven.) Amen Glory to God in the Highest level of Love forever. ❤❤❤ "He is Risen"❤❤❤ Alleluia Alleluia Praise the Lord God Almighty. ❤

    We can pray directly to God in Jesus’ name, the only intercessor to God. The dead will not hear your prayers. Christians should not be dead to be saints. The apostle Paul in his letters called the living Christians saints.

      You are of course free to believe what you wish, but that is not the Catholic belief, although we are never forced to ask the saints for their intercession. But if you say "the dead will not hear your prayers," you seem to be saying you don't believe in eternal life, which I find puzzling, to say the least.

      So what do you suggest I use? There are no photos of saints of the 1600's, and most images online are copyrighted. Images bring the story to life. I do not like nor do "talking head" videos, where the attention is on the speaker rather than the subject. You can always listen to my videos and not watch them. They are available as a podcast, or you can just listen as you're doing other things. I make my videos in a style where you won't miss out on anything important by just listening to the audio.
