Why should Catholics ask the Saints and Mother Mary to take our prayers to God for us? How does the Catholic church know they can canonize "Saints"? How do we know the angels and saints will intercede our prayers for us, as to get Gods priority attention. Is asking for intercession better than just praying directly to God?

1You're asking a whole lot of questions here. Maybe narrow down your question to just 1? Though I think you'll find that each of these is a duplicate of an already existing question.– LCIIISep 2, 2014 at 18:44

@HeidiLundSolokis Welcome to the site! And this one deals with canonization: Why can the Church declare a person a saint but not state that they are damned?.– user13992Sep 2, 2014 at 22:46

@FMShyanguya Your title edit was fine, but using the post space to address comments and commenters, specifically, is inappropriate. It is discouraged even on your own posts.– user3961Sep 2, 2014 at 22:58
