DO YOU KNOW THE PATRON SAINTS FOR All 50 STATES OF AMERICA?
by George Ryan As Catholics, we pray for the intercession of the saints and angels in Heaven, so that they may pray for us on our behalf. We know that saints and angels are able to intercede for us because John sees in the Book of the Revelation that the saints in Heaven offer up to God the prayers of those on Earth. We pray to saints of a certain patronage to ask for their special intercession. Patron saints can be venerated as the Heavenly advocate and special intercessor for many things, even states. If you want to ask for the special intercession on behalf of your state, do you know who to pray to? “When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.
