Saints

They are “our great cloud of witnesses“, the saints in heaven, friends of God and friends of us left here on earth. In “Saints“, we meet some of the very human people the Church has acknowledged as saintly, because of how they lived their lives, and because of the miracles God does when people pray for their intercession. Everybody needs a friend!
