Questions about Saints-CAtholic Only

[Rut]

I have recently been in a chatolic country and then my youth questions come up again.
I wonder why you obey saints - they have been human beings.

I hope I not upset someone but I give you some schripture to show how I think

For example Exodus 20:3
When we obey the saints is that not the same as God then?
Matthew 4:9 - 10 Jesus said here that we only shall obey God
Where in the Bible it say that we shall obey Saints?

What I can see only that we can pray through when we pray to God is Jesus John 14:6, 15:16 Here nothing about that we shall pray to human beings.

Please explain this for me

I think there are two questions you are asking here:

1. Why do we obey saints? Could you clarify this, and give some examples of how you think we obey saints because I don't think we do this.

2. Why do we pray to saints? The answer to this is that we don't. We ask saints for their prayers on our behalf. Just like I might ask family and friends to pray for me, I might ask a particular saint to add his/her prayers to mine.
