A devotion is simply an affection for Saint or some other aspect of Christianity. Some Catholics have a devotion to the passion of Christ, and they spend a lot of time meditating on it. When the devotion is to a saint it has, I believe, two aspects. The first, the devotion means you try to imitate the great Christian in living out your Christian life. The second is that the particular saint is the person you like to turn to to pray on your behalf, since the prayers of a righteousness man availeth much. However, you still continue to pray directly as well.
That’s pretty much it.
Does this mean I can pray to Copernicus, Descartes, Pascal or Kierkegaard?
