Questions people ask Q. My mother was a genuine and devout Christian all her life. I believe she is now with God so why should I pray for her? Is it alright to pray with her? A. To pray with her is a great idea. A special moment at Mass is when we join with the angels and saints in proclaiming the song of heaven, ‘Holy, holy, holy’. Those who are with Jesus in heaven are now part of the perfect worship of the Father. Our Mass is an anticipation of perfect worship. Your good mother is part of the real thing while we are part of the rehearsal.
