Reflection Questions

How would you explain to a non-Catholic friend the difference between asking saints to pray for us and praying directly to God? Can you think of any analogies in everyday life?

How does this understanding of the Church as spanning heaven, earth, and purgatory challenge or enrich your understanding of Christian community? In what specific areas of your life might you benefit from the intercession and example of particular saints?

If you were to choose four or five saints for your personal “crew” or “posse,” which ones would you select and why?
