If you are praying to this saint, how does he know that you are praying to him?

What if 1 million people are praying to him at the same time....is he omniscient?

How 'bout "lotsiscient" or "waymoreiscient"?

And there's that whole time/eternity thing which seems to get between some Protestants and some Catholics. I'd say that, at the least, the saints in heaven have all the time in the world to hear our prayers to them. And I suspect they are outside of time, or freer with respect to it that we are: a minute like 1,000 years and vice versa.

Heaven is surely not subject to laws of physics. What other purpose does a life of a saint have but to listen and pray?
