Why We Turn to the Saints: Friends, Not Gods

They were once ordinary men and women, just like us — facing struggles, doubts, and decisions. But by God's grace, the saints lived lives of deep faith and courageous love, becoming bright witnesses to the power of holiness.

In the Catholic Church, we don't worship the saints — we honour them as role models and companions on the journey. We ask for their prayers just as we would ask a faithful friend to pray for us. This is called intercession: the saints, now united with Christ in heaven, lift our needs before the Lord with love and clarity.

The saints remind us that holiness is possible, even in a noisy, fractured world. Their stories still echo today — showing us how to love boldly, forgive deeply, and walk humbly with God.
