Asking Saints for Forgiveness

Listen to the audio version of this content

Question:

Should we ask saints for forgiveness for having to witness our sins from heaven?

Answer:

No. The saints are no longer in a position that our sins can affect them personally. We should ask forgiveness of God and of those here on Earth who have been hurt by our sins. We can ask the saints to obtain for us the graces of repentance of our sins and for reconciliation with those who have been harmed by our sins.

We’re a nonprofit —no ads, just truth. Will you help us stay that way?
