No, not at all. If Francis has any power(which I believe he has intercessory power), it is from God. God's desire to have His elect participate in His Divine Love.

Why do you ask another person to pray for you? Why do I? There are prayer threads all over this Forum. What is it that we ask people to pray for that God doesn't already know? If you contemplate the Incarnation long enough, I think you will begin to see the answer to these questions.

Why did God choose to take on flesh?

So, then, the process is that God has granted "omniscience of prayers offered to St Francis" to Francis so that Francis would know that persons were asking Francis' prayer assistance? Is that a fair way to put it? I'm just trying to nail it down.

How do you think St.Francis knows you want him to pray for you?
