Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., on Intercessory Prayer

"The Letter to the Hebrews hails Jesus the High Priest by declaring that 'he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he forever lives to make intercession for them' (Heb 7:25). Similarly the saints 'on whose constant intercession . . . we rely for unfailing help' (Eucharistic Prayer III).The Catechism teaches that 'intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. . . . Christian intercession participates in Christ's, as an expression of the communion of saints' (2634)."

In a recent commentary, Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., reflected on the importance of intercessory prayer in our putting others in the presence of God.
