praying...

Pax et bonum!
What’s the difference between having a saint in heaven praying for you and having a saint praying for you here on earth?

Hi henrikhank

If both are saints, no difference. But in the Gospels Jesus does not preclude anyone praying for us. When Saint Pio prayed for others while he was on earth, his prayer was as efficacious as it is no that he is in heaven.
Jesus says,* “if two of you on earth agree to ask anything at all, it will be granted by my Father in heaven. For where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there with them.”* [Matthew 18:19-20]

“Two of you” Jesus says, not only saints.

God bless you.

Peace and all things good ad holy to you also

When I ask saints in Heaven for prayer request they never talk to me so it’s a bit lonely but when I ask people on earth for prayer request I feel less lonely since they actually talk with me. please explain this.
