| In the past, especially the distant past, the saints were venerated as prodigies, miracle-workers, intercessors, protectors. |
| If we wish to be effective intercessors, Leach said, we need to look at ourselves and our attitudes. |
| The saints, then, are not to be regarded primarily as miracle-workers, intercessors and benefactors, although some function in that way. |
| St Lucians come from a society that values the roles of intercessors. |
| Such people may even claim that these others are no more than intercessors mediating their relationship with God. |
| He may be calling us to be intercessors, evangelists, advocates for the poor, healers of the sick, prophets to the world. |
