Miraculous intercession
Miraculous intercession refers to the belief that saints or divine figures can pray to God on behalf of individuals, requesting specific favors or help. It is not that the saints perform miracles themselves, but that their prayers are believed to be powerful because of their close relationship with God. When someone prays for intercession, they are asking the saint to advocate for them spiritually, trusting that this sincere request can lead to divine intervention or blessings. This practice emphasizes the communal aspect of faith, where believers seek assistance through the spiritual influence of revered figures.
