Even then when I did not know my path was being set in front of me. She is also a Patron Saint of women in labour. And as the mother of Mary I can see why. What a great blessing she was given to bear the mother of Christ. Thank you so much for sharing this information.

No where in the bible does it say we need an intercessor to pray, speak, and have a true relationship with God. That is a religion made by man. God calls us to have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ.
We receive Gods grace through our faith in Jesus Christ alone, And because of that grace through Jesus Christ, we are saved. Why do you need the so-called Saints to pray to God.
