What do saints do when we pray to them?

[cgoodson2002]

I apologize for this undoubtedly stupid question… but I am a convert so I don’t know everything. When we want to ask a Saint for help, are we asking them to DO something (such as heal someone) or just to intercede with God on behalf of someone? Thank you.
