Some Roman Catholics consider the church to be made up of two groups --the church triumphant (those already in heaven) and the church militant (those people still here on earth). The idea is that just as you would ask someone here on earth to pray for you, you can ask someone already in heaven (someone who has been declared a saint) to pray for you.
