Is Praying to Saints Christian? Understanding Intercession

In this episode, we dive into the topic of praying to saints and address common concerns about whether it aligns with Christian teachings. Using a unique biblical story where Jesus converses with Moses and Elijah, we explore the Catholic belief in the communion of saints. We clarify misconceptions about necromancy and idol worship, and explain the historical and scriptural basis for asking saints to intercede for us. Discover how this practice is not only deeply rooted in tradition but also enhances our understanding of community and holiness within the Catholic faith.
