Church triumphant or expectant?  There is a difference.

Any evidence from Scripture that the church triumphant has any access to our
prayers.  They are not omniscient, nor omnipresent, and they are not here.
What confidence do I have that any saint gone before sees or hears me?

Still looking.

Subject: [FaithandLife] Saintly Intercession

Yesterday I stumbled onto this succinct explanation of the Intercession of
the Saints...

'When people brought to Father Raymond Raynes, CR, difficult questions about
the Faith, his answers could be oblique and yet as decisive as the New
Testament. When asked - Why pray through the saints? he answered - 'Why did
you ask me to pray for you?''

I think Father Raynes may have said everything that needs to be said on the
subject.
God bless you!
