On another occasion St. Gertrude offered to the blessed

Virgin 150 Ave Maria’s, which she had said in her
honour; and it seemed to her as though every word thus
presented were a piece of golden coin and she felt within
herself that whenever we commit the end of our life to
any saint by special prayers, those prayers are borne up
before the throne of the Judge; and the saint to whom
they were addressed is appointed by God the advocate of
those who have offered them, to provide them all manner
of good according to their need.

In like manner St. Mechtilde, having asked one of her
sisters departed, who had appeared to her in radiant
glory after her death: Tell me, my beloved Sister, of what
avail to you are the prayers we offer for you? Received
this answer : I receive every word of them from your

mouth as so many blooming roses, which I offer with joy
to my Beloved. And having spoken thus, she showed her
under her glorious mantle roses of exquisite bloom,
having a leaf of gold in the midst. And being asked what
was signified by that golden leaf, she answered: It
signifies those prayers which are offered of devotion,
without obligation. And she added, moreover: whenever
anyone addresses his prayer to any saint, that saint
receives all the words of his mouth as though they were
fresh blooming roses of spring. And if you say an Our
Father to all saints, with the intention, were it possible,
of saying one for each of the saints, your intention is
accepted by them as though you had really done so.
