Here, Saint John Bosco advises us on bad companions,even the Bible tells us so. Once we make friends with people who involves themselves in bad things,we will become bad like them. Be careful of the kind of friends you keep.... Keep friends that will not only help you grow physically,but also, friends that would help you in your Catholic faith.

Such lovely quote from St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi. Indeed,prayer to God ought be humble,fervent,reserved and persevering........ Whenever we want to pray to God,we should do this in an humble way, remembering that we are in the presence of God!!!!. Jesus Christ is the One True God,and without Christ in our life,we are completely nothing......
What is prayer? What is its purpose? St. Theresa of Avila says, "Prayer is to realize how much it means to you to have God's friendship and how much he loves you." She also says, "Prayer is when we raise our hearts and minds to God." St. Therese of Liseux offers this beautiful explanation about prayer: "For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look, turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."
What do Catholics mean when they say "prayer to a saint"???
Should Catholics Pray to Saints?
This is where people begin to have a little trouble understanding what Catholics are doing when we pray to saints. Many non-Catholic Christians believe that it is wrong to pray to the saints, claiming that all prayers should be directed to God alone. Some Catholics, responding to this criticism and not understanding what prayer really means, declare that we Catholics do not pray to the saints; we only pray with them. Yet the traditional language of the Church has always been that Catholic pray to the saints, and with good reason-prayer is simply a form of communication. Prayer is simply a request for help. Older usage in English reflects this: We've all heard lines from, say, Shakespeare, in which one person says to another "Pray thee . . . " (or "Prithee," a contraction of "Pray thee") and then makes a request.
That's all we're doing when we pray to saints.
What Is the Difference Between Prayer and Worship?
So why the confusion, among both non-Catholics and some Catholics, about what prayer to the saints really means? It arises because both groups confuse prayer with worship.
True worship (as opposed to veneration or honor) does indeed belong to God alone, and we should never worship man or any other creature, but only God. But while worship may take the form of prayer, as in the Mass and the other liturgies of the Church, not all prayer is worship. When we pray to the saints, we're simply asking the saints to help us, by praying to God on our behalf-just like we ask our friends and family to do so-or thanking the saints for having already done so.
