Article 3 GUIDES FOR PRAYER

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2683
The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom,⁴¹ especially those
whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer
by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their
prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those
whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master,
they were “put in charge of many things.”⁴² Their intercession
is their most exalted service to God’s plan. We can and should ask them to
intercede for us and for the whole world.
