Rightly Dividing Heaven is outside of time, so my thoughts are that none of the saints would be hearing prayers ‘all at once’ in a sense. I’m not sure how exactly being outside of time is, but I’ve never been to Heaven so I can’t describe it to you! Nevertheless, not being able to explain something doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen, especially if God gives us good authority that it happens. God bless ☺️

faith breathes God left us his inspired word, which he claimed to be true. John 17:17 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Job 15:15 15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. Only the Spirit (Christ himself) can intercede for us. Hebrews 7:25 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Romans 8:34 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:26-27 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Isaiah 53:12 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 1 Timothy 2:5 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Holy Mary, pray for us! Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and soul lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 28:26 - He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Very good question. I was told by a priest that the Saints in heaven have access to the mind of our Lord Almighty God. Since God is omnipotent and benevolent, He honours the Saints in heaven. So when we pray for the intercession of the saint/s in heaven, God in his goodness can grant that prayer request of all the people here on earth. To hear our prayer simultaneously is not an issue with the mighty One.

tony boy How would the priest know? Has he been to heaven?
