Friends in Heaven

Every Sunday millions of Christians recite the Apostles' Creed, professing their belief in the "communion of saints," but few realize the importance of this phrase. Indeed, the Catholic understanding , "Is it biblical to ask the saints in heaven to pray (intercede) for us?" Catholics say yes. Because Christians are united with each other through Christ, and are commanded to love and pray for one another, Christians on earth can ask Christians in heaven for their prayers.
