Question:
Answer:
The New Testament frequently talks about saints, a term which can refer to any Christian. For example, St. Paul refers to saints in Romans 1:8, 8:27, 12:13, etc.
Perhaps you are looking more for scriptural passages that affirm prayer to the saints, i.e., those holy men and women who have died whom the Church recognizes—with divine approbation—as worthy intercessors for the saints here on earth. In that regard, please see our tracts on “The Intercession of the Saints,” “Praying to the Saints,” and “Saint Worship?”
