Saintly intercession and purgatory question

[RileyG]

Hi all,

Is it ok to ask canonized Saints to intercede for loved ones in purgatory? Or for those in purgatory in general? Is there a relationship between those in the Church Triumphant (Heaven AKA The beatific vision) and the Church suffering (purgatory)?

Peace

I think so. In addition to your own prayers. You can find indulgenced prayers too. Or have a priest offer a mass for the person’s intention. These are all good things to do. And we are so forgetful to do anything for the faithful departed.

You can ask saints to pray for those in purgatory or here in mortal life, just as you pray
to the Blessed Mother for them.

The Blessed Mother and the Saints are in Heaven with Jesus, so they can intercede for us.
