Who are the Healing Saints?

Many people can tell you how powerful Pray can be. Maintaining faith in God’s will can be very difficult during trying times in our life, but through prayer, we are able to find strength.
Sometimes we need more than just our own prays to guide us through. Catholic have turned to the Healing Saints for particularly difficult issues. Healing Saints are individuals who we can ask to intercede for us before God. We ask them to pray for us in our time of need. Healing Saints are known for miraculous events both in their lives and after their death.
Each Healing Saint has a Miraculous ability to aid us with a specific illness or difficult time.
