Скачать или смотреть Saintly Intercession Explained in 8 Minutes

Catholic and Orthodox Christians believe in the intercession of saints as a way to seek the support and prayers of holy men and women who have gone before us and are united with God in heaven. This tradition stems from the belief that, just as we ask for the prayers of friends and family on earth, we can also ask those who are in the presence of God to intercede for us. Far from replacing Christ’s role as the sole mediator between God and humanity, saintly intercession is understood as participation in Christ’s mediating love, with saints offering prayers on our behalf. This practice highlights the unity of the Church across heaven and earth, embodying the "communion of saints" affirmed in both the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.
