“I believe the Blessed in heaven have great compassion for our miseries. They remember that when they were weak and mortal like us, they committed the same faults themselves and went through the same struggles, and their fraternal tenderness becomes still greater than it ever was on earth. It’s on account of this that they never stop watching over us and praying for us.” St. Therese of Lisieux
Praying to the saints is simply asking the best friends of Jesus to intercede for you…they are up there with him!
