Abstract
Why the Church in its prayers addresses itself to the Father by way of the Son. We must pray to the Holy Virgin, the Angels and Saints, but not as occasional causes of inner grace. The Angels and the demons have power as occasional causes over bodies. Thus demons can tempt us, and Angels can promote the efficacy of Grace.
