So you believe that Mary is omnipresent? For if she can hear hundreds around the world simultaneously calling to her, then that attribute would be necessary.
Note that God was wise in that when he assigned to Joseph and Mary their roles, he sent an angel (yes, to Joseph the angel appeared in a dream). When God assigned Moses the role of leading Israel, he spoke directly to him. When God assigns you a role, there is no choice in the matter.
Some are instantly obedient, such as Abraham, Isaiah, Joseph and Mary. Some resist, such as Moses, Peter (during a vision), and Jonah.
Does Moses hear your prayers?
As usual any thread about Catholicism turns into an anti-Catholic thread. It really gets tiresome. If this actor had converted to any of Protestant faiths it’s his own business and I guarantee Catholics on FR could care less.

Every saved person is eternal.
Moses never spoke to me, but then again I never spoke to him either.
If someone has led a saintly life, they are a saint, whether they appear in the Encyclopedia of Saints or not. Presumably, they can hear you if you speak to them, although a Protestant once told me you are not supposed to speak to the dead.
I think it’s more spiritual than we can understand, so earthly concepts don’t always apply very well, or else we are not used to thinking of these things in a spiritual way. We are too used to the physical world to get things exactly right.
