"The wounds of honour are self-inflicted." ~Film Quote from "The Last Knights"
A poignant quote from the film (movie) I happened to watch late this evening with my daughters. Thought provoking, these words, are they not? And drawn from a fictional movie script at that. Personally, these particular words leave me wondering if we currently live in an age where the notion of honor has now been relegated to realm of fictional tales and legends of days long since gone by. I suppose there is still some thinking to do on this subject. What say you? Has honor in our modern-day society now been replaced with the politics of identity and belonging to a 'greater whole'?

IS PRAYING TO GOD WORSHIP? BY STEVE FINNELL
Is praying to God a form of worship? Yes, without a doubt. Is praying to men or women who are dead or alive worship? Yes, without a doubt.
Who should men worship? Luke 4:7-8 "Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours." 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve."(NKJV)
WHAT IS WORSHIP?
Worship Defined: 1. (Ecclesiastical terms) to show profound religious devotion and respect to; adore or venerate (God or any person or thing considered divine) 2. to be devoted to and full of admiration for. 3. to have or express feelings of profound adoration......7. (Ecclesiastical) the formal expression of religious adoration; rites, prayers, etc. [REF. The Free Dictionary. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/worship]
Praying to God is worship and men are to only worship God.
A Costa Rican woman has told how she recovered from a brain aneurysm after praying to Blessed Pope John Paul ll ---the second miracle attributed to the pontiff, who died in 2005. [REF: catholicherald. co.uk]
Praying to any man dead or alive is worship and to worship anyone but God is sin.
Through the selfless "yes" of the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, our Savior, was brought into the world. It is appropriate, therefore , that we offer prayers of petition and praise to the Mother of God.

Praying to anyone is worship and to worship anyone but God is sin.
WORSHIP IS RESERVED FOR GOD ALONE!
