 Intercession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intercession may also refer to the Catholic and Orthodox faithful asking members of the Communion of Saints in Heaven to intercede with God on their behalf or that of others.
Among Roman Catholics, the faithful may pray (and celebrate mass) in intercession on behalf of those who are in Purgatory, for their reception into Heaven.
In Orthodoxy, intercession for the dead is also common, even though the Orthodox theology of an intermediary state between death and Heaven is not as clearly or as consciously developped as it is in Catholicism.

 Intercession (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Intercession is thus to be regarded: (1) as the spontaneous act of man for his fellowman; (2) the official act of developed sacerdotalism; (3) the perfecting of the natural movement of humanity, and the typified function of priesthood in the intercession of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
We find the spirit of intercession in the pleas of those who sought Christ's help for their friends, which He was always so quick to recognize: the centurion for his servant (Matthew 8:13); the friends of the paralytic (Matthew 9:2-6), where the miracle was wrought on the ground of the friends' faith.
A remarkable instance of intercession is recorded in Matthew 20:20-23, where the mother of Zebedee's sons makes a request on behalf of her children; the added expression, "worshipping him," raises the occasion into one of intercessory prayer.

In the age of the Church, Christian intercession participates in Christ's, as an expression of the communion of saints.

The intercession of Christians recognizes no boundaries: "for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions," for persecutors, for the salvation of those who reject the Gospel.

 The Intercession of Christ - Turretin
Hence the Romanists unite the intercession of Christ with secondary intercessors with no less sacrilege than when they unite his sacrifice with secondary priests; nor is this crime diminished by their distinction between mediators of intercession and mediators of redemption (as has already been seen).
But when intercession is ascribed to Christ, it must not be so restricted to his human nature as to remove it wholly from the divine considered in per­sonal union with it.
Still there is nothing to prevent our ascribing intercession to it according to the economy of grace because to pray is just as consistent with it as to take the form of a servant and to undertake the mediatorial work.

 Russian politicians scramble to get blessing of the church   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Despite the church's official apolitical line, the country's top Orthodox leader, Patriarch Alexy II, maintains close ties with Yeltsin and has reportedly urged parish priests to support the president's bid for re-election.

Then he points to the construction on his church, which would have been impossible before Yeltsin's reign -- especially because part of the funds are coming from the Moscow city government.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miracle
The existence of the Church, the kingdom of God on earth, in which Christ and His Holy Spirit abide, rendered illustrious by the miraculous lives of saints of all countries and all times, is a perpetual standing witness for the reality of miracles (Bellar., "De notis eccl.", LIV, xiv).
Mozley held that an enormous distinction exists between the miracles of the Gospel and those of church history, through the false notion that the sole purpose of miracles was the attestation of revealed truth: Newman denies the contention and shows that both are of the same type and as well-authenticated by historical evidence.
Finally, the prophetic element of the fortunes of the individual and of the Church is shown in the miracles of stilling the tempest, of Christ on the waters, of the draught of fishes, of the didrachma and the barren fig tree.

The prophets and the saints, all those who were slain on earth for their witness to Jesus, the vast throng of those who, having come through the great tribulation, have gone before us into the Kingdom, all sing the praise and glory of him who sits on the throne, and of the Lamb.

 Fr. Hardon Archives - The Divine Office as the Church's Prayer of Praise and Intercession
Christ Jesus (the Church tells us), the high priest of the new and eternal covenant, taking human nature, introduced into this earthly exile, that hymn which is sung throughout all ages in the halls of heaven.
And all who by their priestly consecration or religious profession are specially identified with the Eucharist are also expected by the Church to be devoted to the chanting or recitation of the hours of the Liturgy.
Yes, the Divine Office is, par excellence, the prayer of divine praise and intercession, and behind these two words, "praise" and "intercession," stands the whole galaxy of all possible relationships of a creature with respect to the Creator.

Because there was no tradition of monumental architecture or permanence in Russia, Prince Vladimir of Novgorod (whose conversion in 988 led to the building of this chapel) and Bogoliubskii drew from the Byzantine centralized church tradition, indicating their allegiance to Constantinople and the Eastern church.
The church serves both as a visual marker and a symbolic indicator of the Prince's wealth.

To a high percentage of people, intercession means prayer and use the two words interchangeably.
From what we see here, the definition of intercession includes the word prayer, but extends beyond that to include petitioning and entreating on another’s behalf.
Prophetic intercession is quite biblical, and we can see examples of this in Joshua 6:1-5 and Ezekiel 4:1-8.

Since the rector will now have two residences—St Seraphim Church in Sea Cliff and the Synod of Bishops in New York—His Eminence stated that a second priest would be appointed to the parish.

Among those blessings which are intended for persons—not to be confused with sacramental ordination—are the blessing of the abbot or abbess of a monastery, the consecration of virgins and widows, the rite of religious profession and the blessing of certain ministries of the Church (readers, acolytes, catechists, etc.).
When the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the power of the Evil One and withdrawn from his dominion, it is called exorcism.
Pastoral discernment is needed to sustain and support popular piety and, if necessary, to purify and correct the religious sense which underlies these devotions so that the faithful may advance in knowledge of the mystery of Christ.

 The Living Church Foundation
A group that includes bishops, rectors and canons from the Episcopal Church has agreed to work in a partnership to organize and secure funding for a pan-Anglican congress in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2007.
Sponsored by the Primate of Southern Africa, Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane, the 2007 gathering is modeled on a proposal developed by the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) for a meeting that was to have been held concurrently with the 2008 Lambeth Conference.
Douglas told The Living Church he welcomed the news of the 2007 Congress, saying he was in favor “of as many opportunities as possible for Anglicans from across the Communion to come together, as it builds understanding and a common commitment to God’s mission for the Church in the world.”
