1. The communion of saints is the union and intercourse of Catholics on earth, of the souls in purgatory, and of the saints in heaven.

2. Catholics on earth, the souls in purgatory, and the blessed in heaven are united with Christ, just as are the members of a body with the head (Rom. xii. 4).

3. All the members of the communion of saints have a share in the spiritual goods of the Catholic Church, and can help one an other by their prayers and other good works. The saints alone in heaven have no need of help.
All Catholics can help each other by prayer and good works.
We can also help the holy souls in purgatory by prayers and other good works ; they in turn can help us by their prayers, especially when they reach heaven.
The saints in heaven can help us by their prayers before the throne of God (Apoc. viii. 4), especially if we call upon them for help.
Our dead relatives and friends, who are in heaven, are always pleading for us at the throne of God, and often save us from danger.
