Catholics pray to Mary and the saints for intervention. Why is it that the Saints Prayers Receive?
Just curious about other prayers to God almighty. Are you so busy that you can not answer prayers or intercept all at once, so Mary and the saints are held at the receiving end, and as observed for the Almighty to see what he has lost?

I have not seen it quite this way before (the heavenly visions of Post-It Notes all over the place is kind of fun), but … that's not quite what is happening.
First, the term is intercession, no intervention. Intercessory prayer is simply praying for someone else. We've all done it - especially if someone asks us to "please pray for me or not. We ask the saints in heaven to pray for us, not because it has been delegated the responsibility to take messages, but to add your prayer to ours (as we do when we are here "agree in prayer") with prayer led you all to the Father through Christ.
Not a chain of command, in other words, my prayer through a succession of notes of a saint and then for them at the foot of the throne (or of God "in" box). I have a direct line, like all believers. But we also have the privilege of praying for others, and so do the saints.
Nowhere in the Bible tells us to pray to Mary and / or the Catholic Church considers to be saints.
"Since God is holy and we are sinners, it is impossible to approach him alone. We need a mediator to cleanse us from sin and to God. The mediator is Jesus Christ: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all" (1 Timothy 2:5). He is the only mediator because his blood shed by itself to guarantee the freedom of his people from the bondage of sin.
Unfortunately, the tradition has obscured the clear teaching of the Bible. Willing to trust the word of God, people have invented other "mediators." "
Catholics believe that a saint is the soul of a dead person is confirmed to reside in heaven. Being in heaven, who have the power to intercede with the events on Earth. I guess they have heard of God or something. Someone is declared a saint in heaven if there is evidence of the completion of two miracles after death. If you can do miracles, then, obviously, can do it again if asked.
I do not think these things, but I was raised as a Catholic.
EDIT: God is doing in a few years and needs a push.
Mary and the "saints" can not listen to anyone "praying" for them. Nevertheless the Bible says that all believers are saints, including those who are alive today.
Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell.

I would like to "born again Catholic," "Fidel," and "Mary" to give good answers. It could not have said better.
In Christ

I think everyone who is saved is the family of God and that He delights in the saints intercede for us on earth, which is like God to be so generous and engaging all members of their children in this regard.
What does the Scripture?
Matt. 18:10 - the angels in heaven always behold the face of God. We revere for its great dignity and union with God.
Matt. 15:4, Luke 18:20, Eph. 6:2-3 Exodus 20:12, Lev. 19:3, Deut. 5:16 - was commissioned to honor our father and mother.
Luke 1:28 - worships the angel Gabriel to Mary to declare his "Hail full of grace." The angel heavenly honors human Mary, for her perfection of grace is superior to the angels.
Romans 13:7 - let's give the honor to be honored. When we honor the sons of God, honor God, He is the source of all honor.
1 Cor. 4:16 - the most important form of veneration of saints is "imitate" the saints, as Paul commands us to do.
1 Cor. 11:1 - again, Paul says, "Be imitators of me, and I of Christ." The ultimate goal of veneration is imitation.
Phil. 2:25-29 - Paul teaches us to honor Epaprhoditus almost died for the faith. How much should honor those saints who did not die for the faith!
Phil. 3:17 - Paul says to imitate him and others, which is the object of veneration. Veneration is not worship.
1 Thess. 1:6 - Paul says to the Thessalonians, "You became imitators of us and the Lord." This is the purpose of worship.
2 Thess. 3:7 - Paul says that the Thessalonians should imitate him and other bishops.
Hebrews 3:3 - Jesus is worthy of more glory and honor to Moses. This does not mean that the saints are not worthy of the glory and honor. Instead, it shows that the holy people are worthy of honor and glory of God's goodness.
Heb. 6:12 - the author teaches us to be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb. 13:7 - we must imitate the faith of our faithful leaders. We pray for her intercession and veneration for his sanctity.
James 5:10-11 - James teaches us to take heart from the examples of the prophets and Job, the suffering endured.
1 Peter 2:17 - Peter teaches us to honor all men, love of brotherhood, fear God, honor the emperor. Not living with Christ in heaven deserve the honor? Catholics believe they do, and honored with special holidays, as well as honor those who live by the celebration of his birthday.
Gen. 19:1 - Lot reveres the two angels in Sodom, bowing himself with his face on the floor.
Gen. 42:6 - Joseph's brothers bow before Joseph with the face to the ground. This is worship, not worship.
Exodus 28:2 - is especially important to honor the religious leaders. Holy garments of Aaron to give dignity and honor.
Lev. 19:32 - we must also honor "the face of an old man." When the elderly die in Christ, we must continue to honor them, because death does not separate from us or the love of Christ.
1 Sam. 28:14 - Saul bows before Samuel with his face to the ground in reverence.
2 Chron. 32:33 - Hezekiah was honored at his death. We honor our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Lord. 44:1-2 - we must give praise and honor to whom the Lord apportioned great glory. This is our family in Christ.
Jesus said: "You should read:" Our Father which art in heaven … ' "So the prayers are addressed to the Father.
Jesus also said: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. "(Matthew 6:9, John 14:6, 14, JB) So Jesus rejected the idea that no one can fill the role of intercessor. The apostle Paul added with regard to Christ: "He not only died for us, he rose from the dead, and God in his right hand and embrace us." "He lives forever to intercede for all who come to God through him. "(Rom. 8:34, Heb. 7:25, JB)
If we really want our prayers to be heard by God, would not it be prudent to approach God in the way it manages its word?
Eph. 6:18, 19, JB: "I never get tired of staying awake to pray for all the saints, and pray for me to have the opportunity to open my mouth and speak without fear and to the mystery of the Gospel." (Here gives encouragement to pray for the saints, but not to them or through them. The New Catholic Encyclopedia, 1967, vol. XI, p. 670, acknowledges: "In general, in the N [ew] t [establishment] the prayer to all private and public liturgical prayer is addressed to God the Father through Christ. ")
Rom. 15:30, JB: "I beg you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of the Spirit to help me through my hazards praying to God for me." (The apostle Paul, a saint himself, he asked fellow Christians who were also saints to pray for him. But notice that Paul does not address their prayers to the saints peers, or their prayers on his behalf, to replace the personal privacy that Paul enjoyed himself with the Father through prayer. Compare Ephesians 3: 11, 12, 14.)
In revelations that speaks of the saints, prayer with inscence before the throne of God. Who are they praying for? Themselves? of corse not already in heaven, are praying for us and interseeding. Just as Catholics believe, and as the Bible says.
Praying to saints is just asking for your prayers. We also pray directly to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But ask those who are sacred to add their prayers to ours.
Are not killed as many fundamentalists claim. How can someone who believes in the resurrection of Christ and believe that the Mother of Christ and those who died for him to be dead and not resurrected him?
Because we know they're alive and in heaven, they know they can hear our prayers and we know that can pray for us. In fact, as the Father K, there is much in the Bible lets us know that the saints are doing just that.
Just because the Bible does not say "pray to the saints" does not mean or imply that it is not bad.
