The saints are simply your older brothers (and sisters) in the Faith. Older siblings always watch over the younger ones.
Christians believe that “death shall have no dominion,” as Dylan Thomas wrote, and our older brothers and sisters are still helping us as much as we let them.
God is over all, but don’t throw out your brothers and sisters in the Faith who have gone before.
“God is over all, but don’t throw out your brothers and sisters in the Faith who have gone before.”
If my brothers and sisters are omnipresent and omniscient in heaven, they have the attributes of God, and therefore are not only higher than the angels, but share in the divine attributes.
