Your whole response shows the implicit assumption that there's a tension, or even a contradiction, between having huge interactive networks of intercession, encompassing those in heaven and on earth, and God's absolute sovereignty.
If it were not God's will to involve us in His great work, most of the OT and NT would be irrelevant. The reality of the Mystical Body of Christ --- that we are the cells, tissues, organs and systems, the senses and limbs incorporated into Christ, and by which Christ works even now --- would be redundant or meaningless.
God does not intend His story to be the story of "I only." If it were, He would have never bothered with the vast generosity of Creation and the inconceivable humility of making Covenant with us. God with us. Emmanuel. What a great God this is.
**You minimize God’s power.**
No, I believe that only God is omnipresent.

So, even though God is omnipresent, he watches Mary’s army of angels come and go to her, and then let’s her make the request made known to Him. And I AM THE ONE minimizing God’s power?

Yes, while we are alive on this earth, we are to work the works of God. When we are asleep in Christ, we are not working.

I whole heartly agree!
