Prayers to the Saints
Traditional prayers to the saints and archangels: Saint Anthony, Padre Pio, Saint Jude, Saint Raphael, Saint Joseph and more.
Catholics ask the saints to pray for them, the same way you might ask a friend to pray for you. The saints do not replace God. They join their prayers to ours.
Each page gives the traditional prayer, who the saint was, their feast day, and what people most often ask their intercession for.
