Saints and The Church

All of the Saints are our older brothers in the House of the Heavenly Father. Having departed from earth to heaven, they are always with us in God…. They serve together with us, they sing, they speak, they instruct, they help us in various temptations and sorrows. Call upon them as living with you under a single roof; glorify them, thank them, converse with them as with living people: and you will believe in the Church. – St. John of Kronstadt
