			=== The Lord's Prayer ===

			Jesus taught His disciples to pray with and for each other. I have highlighted petitions that include plural pronouns here, but every part of the prayer is intercessory:

			::- ''Our'' Father
			::- Give ''us'' this day ''our'' daily bread
			::- Forgive ''us our'' trespasses as ''we'' forgive those who trespass against ''us''
			::- Lead ''us'' not into temptation
			::- Deliver ''us'' from evil

The saints are alive and well. They are members of the Body of Christ in Heaven. Cf. Moses and Elijah appearing in glory in the Transfiguration, and the people who rise from the dead with Jesus in Matthew's gospel [http://usccb.org/bible/mt/27:52 (Mt 27:52-53).]
