If someone asks me," What do you like to be a Catholic?" My answer to them is "the communion of saints." By this I mean, we, the Catholics, have a direct link with the men and women who went ahead of us to heaven to pray for us. They become our mediators to our Holy Triune God. We believe in their roles as our mediators.
As human beings, we seek the blessings of our elders, teachers, parents and religious leaders in times of joy and sorrow. Many a time their prayers bear much fruit, often; we receive much more than what we expect. If the prayers and invocations of these people can bring God's blessings in our lives. Think about those holy persons who are in heaven now, in the presence of God; praising and worshiping the Holy Three Persons with the angels. I personally believe that human beings' hundredth intercession is equal to their once whisper to God.
This is what I call sending "Instant Messages" to saints in heaven.
"Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall keep you then more effectively than during my life."
