IF JESUS IS THE “BRIDGE” BETWEEN GOD AND OURSELVES, THEN WHY ASK THE SAINTS TO PRAY FOR US? EXAMPLE: YOU LOSE YOUR FAVORITE WATCH AND YOU PRAY TO SAINT ANTHONY TO HELP YOU FIND IT, INSTEAD OF PRAYING TO JESUS TO HELP YOU FIND IT. DO NOW:

“Saint Francis, Pray for us.” By now you are used to hearing this phrase throughout the day at prep. Besides Francis being the namesake of our school, why pray to the saints?  Asking Saints to intercede for us is not unlike asking people on earth to pray for us. Saints were exemplary people when they were living here on earth, we pray through the saints. It encourages us to be better while we’re here.

Capital "S" Lowercase “s” “Saints”- when the word is capitalized it means the person is a canonized Saint recognized by the church “saints”- when the word is not capitalized it refers to all deceased people who we believe to be in heaven. Saints vs. saints

Communion of Saints "We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one Church; and we believe that in this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always [attentive] to our prayers" (CCC 962)
