Catechism of the Catholic Church § 946, 955-961 « I believe in the communion of saints » After confessing the holy catholic Church, the Apostles Creed adds the communion of saints. In a certain sense this article is a further explanation of the preceding: What is the Church if not the assembly of all the saints? (Nicetas) The communion of saints is the Church... The communion of the Church of heaven and of earth: So it is that the union of the wayfarers with the brethren who sleep in the peace of Christ is in no way interrupted, but on the contrary, according to the constant faith of the Church, this union is reinforced by an exchange of spiritual goods (Vatican II, LG49). The intercession of the saints: Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness.... So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped” (LG 49). “Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life” (St. Dominic); “I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth” (St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus). Communion with the saints...: Exactly as Christian communion among our fellow pilgrims brings us closer to Christ, so our communion with the saints joins us to Christ, from whom... issues all grace, and the life of the People of God itself (LG 50)... In the one family of God: For if we continue to love one another and to join in praising the Most Holy Trinity - all of us who are sons of God and form one family in Christ - we will be faithful to the deepest vocation of the Church (LG 51). In brief: The Church is a communion of saints: this expression refers first to the holy things, above all the Eucharist, by which the unity of believers, who form one body in Christ, is both represented and brought about (LG 3). The term communion of saints refers also to the communion of holy persons in Christ who died for all, so that what each one does or suffers in and for Christ bears fruit for all.
