Mary and the Saints

A gentle guide to how Catholics honor Mary and the saints while worshiping God alone.

Mary

Catholics honor Mary because she is the Mother of Jesus and the model disciple. Catholics do not worship Mary.

Saints

Catholics ask the saints to pray for us because the Church is one in Christ across heaven and earth.

Intercession

Asking saints for prayer is like asking fellow Christians to pray, but with the confidence that the saints are alive in Christ.

Christ at the center

Healthy Catholic devotion always leads back to Jesus Christ, not away from Him.
