CCC 2634

Intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. He is the one intercessor with the Father on behalf of all men, especially sinners.¹¹² Cf. Rom 8:34; 1 Jn 2:1; 1 Tim 2:5-8. He is "able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."¹¹³ Heb 7:25. The Holy Spirit "himself intercedes for us . . . and intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."¹¹⁴ Rom 8:26-27.
