Communication with the saints

[ps139]

Very good analogy. Thanks!

What about all the people all over the world praying to Mary at the same time? I often wonder how it is that she hears each and every one...I don't really expect any definitive answers it is just something I ponder...

Well, considering that there is no "time" in Heaven.... then it is not really a problem.

You are right, I wasn't considering that...that does make sense! Thanks!

Or just the grace of God, it never really bothered me, I just thought things will be differant in heaven so I did not compare how things are on earth to how they will be in heaven

I guess sometimes I get caught up in trying to figure out things that will not be known until we get there (hopefully! )

When we sometimes try to figure out spiritual matters trying to use logic and reasoning, the conclusions that we arrive at are often limited and confusing. I think it was Bishop Kallistos Ware that said, logic and reasoning is limited, but yet faith is limitless. What I found out the only way to “get there” is by reading, studying and most of all praying, praying and praying. I remember reading a specific prayer during lent, and while reading the prayer the words starting “moving” on the page and “came at me”. I explained this event to one of my spiritual fathers and he said that the words stopped becoming words on the page, i.e. paper, ink text, and became living words of Life.

God be with you on your journey.

I was told, or read or heard or whatever...
That angels deliver our messages..

Anyway, doesn't scripture tell us we become like Him in Heaven?
