Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In the book of Revelation, John sees that "the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints" (Rev. 5:8). Thus the saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth. Where does it say the twenty-four elders ever served time on earth? They're angels not dead people. And it doesn't say that the prayers came to the elders and they forwarded them to God. It just says our prayers go into a golden bowl.
Why must you Catholics insist on minimizing what Jesus did on The Cross?

Why must you Catholics insist on minimizing what Jesus did on The Cross? Not gonna even get drawn into that kind of an argument, because I don't attack Protestants, like you attack Catholics.

This is why we actually have a corpus on the cross. We call it a Crucifix. It is a permanant reminder.
