All Christian Churches are in agreement about the fact that Jesus, the Son of God, is our atonement Intercessor before the Father. However some of those Churches disregard other levels of intercessions. They overlook that the Holy Bible is one whole complete and inseparable unit. For example, the role of the Holy Spirit as our intercessor before God the Father. This is written in the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans: “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which can not be uttered” (Rom8: 26).
Obviously there are other kinds of intercessions, which are mentioned in the Holy Bible. It is in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament.
Beloved friends, you are going to read, in the following pages, an earnest study on the Solicitory Intercession of the Saints. I urge you to get acquainted with the contents so you can realize how the saints are glorified and honored before God. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself revealed that when He said: “ Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you” (Jn16: 23).
May our merciful God accept the prayers of the pure Virgin St. Mary, the mother of God, and all the saints’ prayers. And may their blessings and the prayers and blessings of our Patriarch Pope Shenouda III, be with us all. Amen
