A new song in your heart
Did you know there are four steps to interceding? #1-get informed.#2-getting inspired.#3-get indignant (even if it involves getting angry about the situation).#4-get in sync.
The five traits of an intercessor are, courage, steadfastness, endurance, consecration, and self-sacrifice. So when we ask our beloved Blessed Mother or any Saint of Heaven to intercede for us these are the things they possess on our behalf. Such is the example of Saint Paul. He had these Spiritual qualities to preach the word of God. No matter where he went or what confronted him, he had these qualifications to earnestly want to help people follow Jesus, making him a true intercessor.
We ourselves, can become intercessors for friends and family and also for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. We can possess these Holy traits in Prayer and in Earnest plea to have the Will of God be followed and exalted in results. God listens attentively when our prayers, for the prayers to the Intercessors in Heaven, truly believe it is for the betterment of ones soul. Trusting always, that the judgment of God is righteous and true.
There is a chain reaction when we ask the Saints and sweet Angels to help us intercede. They are already standing in the Heavenly realm and can deliver our pleas and prayers immediately. The greatest of intercessors is our Beloved Blessed Mother and Father. St Joseph and our Blessed Mother Mary. They know Jesus on such a personal level that the purification of our prayers passes through their Holy hands straight to His. Our Lord is respectful to His mother and father, therefore creating it to become a "Family affair". His response being out of respect and there's with the words "do whatever He tells you to do". Either way, our prayers are distinct in the Justice of God. Allowing us Peace and resignation in the prayer that we ask of these two powerful intercessors.
We have much help as Christians and Catholics. With the multitude of Angels and Saints of Heaven to help get our prayers to the Throne of God. God is all powerful. All Majestic. All Knowing. He is also all Loving, all Peaceful and all Merciful. We would do well in relying on these powerful intercessors of Heaven and Earth. We are never ever alone in our struggles. The Holy intercessors are here to help. Love them, trust them and believe in "their" love and mercy, that they have for us.
