The holy saints of God can hear our prayers and help us.
This was reported by the Zen channel “Holy Places” with reference to priests.
As Archpriest Maxim Pervozvansky said, the holy saints of God can hear us and help us if necessary.
As for whether our deceased loved ones can pray to God for us, then, as Archpriest Andrei Efanov explained, this is possible if a person was able to achieve Holiness during his lifetime.
Otherwise, our loved ones themselves need our prayerful help, ” the priest clarified.
Archpriest Andrei Ovchinnikov holds the same opinion.
The deceased can only help us when they enter the Kingdom of God and attain Holiness, he explained.
