" Is it their love for Him (through their sufferings) that makes Jesus listen a little louder to the requests of His beautiful saints? Yes, I believe that's true."

But it isn't. Scripture says that God is no respecter of persons. He doesn't play favorites.

Favorites? I've never thought about it quite like that. I think Christ loves those He wishes to be saints, to a "higher" degree, though. That's why He supplies so much suffering for them. Could there be heavenly levels when we die?..... And unless one is able to pray and suffer their way to the top while on earth, could it be possible they'll only see Mother Teresa of Calcutta as she passes by on the "up" escalator... :)
