intercessory prayer

[David Dalton]

I'm wondering about the exact definition of intercessory
prayer.

Google seems to define it as prayer on behalf of someone
else.

But I thought that intercessory prayer included when
Catholics pray to saints who then relay it to God.

Of course the two could be combined, when the prayer
to saints is on behalf of someone else.

Anyway, I would appreciate any clarifications you might
have on the matter.

For those who have been following me, I have prayed to
Gaia to lobby Goddess (who Christians call God) and
other potential collaborators.

If you go by the Bible, you will find there is only ONE to intercede
prayer for you to God.:

-- New American with Apocrypha
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.

Notice "No one". That means no saints or priests nor even your virgin
Mary. Only Christ.

But we can pray for one another, and that counts as
intercessory prayer.
