9. We are united with all the saints (those with a capital ‘S’ and those with a small ‘s’) who have gone to God before us. We call our union with all the saints who have gone to God, with all of us on earth today who live in God’s grace and goodness, and all those who will come after us, the Communion of Saints. This is a wonderful thing. We can turn to these saints in prayer and conversation and ask them to care for us, love us, and support us with their prayer. Please take some time and pray/talk to your special saint and ask him/her to help you in whatever you need. You are asked to type your prayer in the lines provided.
