No, the saints are the souls who are in Heaven with our Lord. The canonized "S"aints are patron/ess for various types of intercessional prayers to God. Such as if your a rape victim or suffering from a mental illness you can ask St. Dymphna to pray to God on your behalf. Or if your pregnant and want to have a healthily pregnancy or are a woman struggling with having an abortion you can ask St. Catherine of Siena to pray to God on your behalf. Or if your a solider in battle wanting to feel safe and not get killed in battle you can ask St. Michael the Archangel to pray to God on your behalf. There are patron/ess Saints for all sorts of careers, trades, jobs, etc. and there are even patron/ess Saints of countries such as Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patroness Saint of the Americas.

Way back when I was a Catholic I always liked the Archangels over any saint. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael or Uriel...good strong names!

Saint Lucifer, Patron Saint of Enlightening. Nobody ever gets it when I use it as a screen name on Y!A.
Lucifer means "bringer of light"...
