Can we please try to be nice to each other if we all have to go in the same spaceship (the round one called The Earth)?
Now I'm not RC, and have a lot of issues with RC doctrine, but I happen to know that St Barbara is supposed to look after those who work with explosives.
A couple of years ago I was newly qualified and taking responsibility for firing a massive stage pyro effect at the finale of a show for children. I'm looking at a big red button labelled FIRE, and the key to switch the panel on is in my hand.
If I've got this right I could get the show rave reviews. Wrong and I could put the cast in the ER. Cue coming up, key in, selector on, green light on the panel. The firing button is now set live.
At this stage I breathed a very short prayer. Then I realised that I had invoked St Barbara as well.
In moments of stress it's a very easy thing to do.
That's why I'm not critical of people who use intercessors, even though I don't agree with the theology.
