  1. Saints – They made the most of it! Chapter 4

  2. Saints – They made the most of it! • Saints are the souls united with God forever in heaven. On earth, the saints lived lives of holiness and special closeness with God. We are all called to become saints. • Conversion is the turning away from sin toward God. • We can only be truly happy if we are in union with God and His will. This is called sanctity (holiness), and is deeply related to our membership in the Kingdom of God.

  3. Saints – They made the most of it! • The saints in heaven are called the Church Triumphant because their eternal reward is union with God. • As Catholics, we believe in eternal life: not that we will live forever on earth, but that we will share in God’s eternal life through grace.

  4. Saints – They made the most of it! • Intercession is prayer on behalf of another. • We can ask others on earth, those in purgatory, and those in heaven to pray for us. We often ask the saints to intercede for us. Their prayers are powerful before the throne of God.

  5. Saints – They made the most of it! • The Church has canonized many saints and assures us that they are in heaven. There are also many saints in heaven who are unknown to us. • Mary is the greatest of all the saints and our mother. She is a powerful intercessor. • A patron saint is a special saint chosen to intercede for a particular person or group.
