You
say in your book that while we live we are able to pray for each
other, but afterwards when we have died, the prayer of no person for
another can be heard.... But if the apostles and martyrs while still
in the body can pray for others, at a time when they ought still be
solicitous about themselves, how much more will they do so after
their crowns, victories, and triumphs?

Saint
Jerome from
“Against Vigilantius”
