Stories from the Street
Detroit, MI. As St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote, you have to pray to be saved. In order to go to heaven when we die, we must have established some kind of friendship with God. As Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” But you can’t be in friendship with God without prayer.
