The Catholic Church declares a person to be ‘Blessed’ if they have led an exemplary and holy life. In this sense, they are role models for Catholics to imitate. Their lives provide meaningful examples to people on how to lead a good and virtuous life.
Catholics believe that when a person dies and goes to heaven, their soul remains spiritually united with Christians on Earth. This is known as the Communion of Saints. Just as they might ask a friend to pray for them, they also turn to saints to help them in their lives.
