The power of praying to Saints for intervention: Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christians believe that just as one can ask friends and family for prayer, one can call upon believers in heaven - the saints - for intercession as well. And the intercession of saints is believed to be especially effective, given their holy lives while on earth and their communion with God in heaven. Westman Works has prayer kits to various Saints such as this one that includes a mini pocket statue 1 3/4 inch tall and a wallet size Holy Card with a picture of the Saint on front and a prayer on back.
