Why do we have to make the sign of the cross before and after prayers?
First of all, we don’t “have to” make the sign of the cross before and after prayer, as if our prayer would become invalid if we don’t. It is however a very ancient tradition of the Church and I can think of many very good reasons for us to continue to practise it.

天主經得一個版本，並不是因為有人將之簡化，雖然瑪竇與路加的版本的確有些不同，而是教會在最初就已慣用了瑪竇的版本。

所謂九日敬禮，其實是有十天的禮儀的：九天做準備，第十天慶祝。如第一個九日敬禮是祝聖於聖神的，所以九天祈禱後，第十天就是聖神降臨了。

This is the kind of question that is best answered if someone can sit down with you and have a conversation. What I do encourage you is to read Book IV of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is on prayer. It is very inspiring and thorough.
Read More →Jesus never told us to pray to Mary. Jesus is the great intercessor and we prayed to him as the great intercessor to reach God. Nowhere in the Bible it says to pray to Mary. If it’s not in the Bible and we should not believe it. You can hope and pray to the Saints and Mary is more powerful but that’s just my belief that is not biblical.
I suppose that since you believe in the Bible, you are also a Christian. So I want to start off with, I totally agree with you that Jesus is the one mediator, the bridge between us and God the Father.

的確是一個好問題，試試這樣想：我們只可以奉獻屬於我們的東西。一件東西屬於我，可以是因為由我的貢獻換取回來，或由別人贈送的。

你說得對，只有三位一體的天主才是神，天使不是神，是另一種，全靈無體的受造物，他們賦有大能，是天主創造來作祂的使者，輔助祂成就祂的命令的。
