Saints, especially the patron saints such as Saint Rita of Cascia and the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague in my case, act as our intercessors to the Lord. They are powerful mediators who act as a powerful messenger and bringers of our requests to the Lord.
And they are only happy to be of help to those who pray to them and ask for their assistance and intercession.
Saints, aside from being an able intercessor can also serve as a perfect model especially for young men and women. Saints have lived their lives with the practice of great virtues such as charity, love and poverty. Perfect examples are the lives and sufferings of Saint Rita of Cascia and the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague.
Saint Rita, for example as lived her life in pain and suffering because of the loss of her family, yet she wholeheartedly and willingly accepted her fate as something that came from the Lord. She also lived a life of humility and poverty and she offered them up to the Lord. Saint Rita lived the life that we must all emulate.
