From Forums of the Virgin Mary<\/a><\/span> [translated]:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How the Angels and Saints know exactly what you are thinking.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The angels and saints could not know our thoughts, only God can [according to some authorities].<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, we can communicate with them mentally to ask for their intercession and favors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And our non-verbal prayers are answered in the same way as the vowels and consonants are.<\/p>\n

How do our thoughts reach angels [if not directly, which others believe is the case]?<\/p>\n

Here we will talk about the way that God designed so that angels and saints can know our thoughts and deep needs, thus opening up a world of possibilities for us.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Only God can have direct access to the hidden thoughts of our hearts and minds.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the saints and angels can also know them<\/strong> when we freely choose to speak to them internally or vocally.<\/p>\n

By an act of our will, we direct our thoughts towards a particular angel or saint in prayer, and this opens our specific thoughts to the chosen person.<\/p>\n

It is not a “public broadcast” to all angels or demons in our area.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But it is limited to those to whom we want to direct them.<\/p>\n

We can even choose to address more than one person at a time.<\/p>\n

This means that we can silently pray to God, to Mary, and to the angels and saints, from the depths of our hearts, in any situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But we can also communicate through vocal prayer.<\/p>\n

For example, remember the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel, in which he is asked to defend us in the battle against the devil.<\/p>\n

This also goes for the saints.<\/p>\n

Communication is two-way.\u00a0We send and receive messages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that is why we can ask the saints and angels for intercession.<\/p>\n

We ask verbally or mentally in a dialogue, as if we were talking with a friend.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0we should be attentive to listen, because one of their functions is to bring us messages and answers to our requests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They speak to us through the events that happen to and around us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We must be attentive to decipher messages in the things that happen, opening our spirit to see and listen.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a very common case, like we are thinking about a need we have.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0suddenly a solution to that issue or a consolation comes to our mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or we see something outside that gives us a clue to the answer<\/strong>, such as a sign on the public road, a person speaking to us, music, etcetera.<\/p>\n

So the function of saints and angels is to take our requests to God and pray for them.<\/p>\n

And God will attend to them according to their merits and ours.<\/p>\n

This means that\u00a0these beings, who are in Heaven, know our needs, because we ask them to intercede for us, and they do intercede before God for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is much Biblical evidence of this interaction of living beings on earth with angels and saints, and we quote it in articles in the description of this video.<\/p>\n

The Bible shows men on earth talking to the dead, who are in Heaven.<\/p>\n

It shows that the angels and saints are aware of the things that happen on earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That the angels and saints of Heaven care about us.<\/p>\n

And present our prayers to God.<\/p>\n

And we also know from the Bible that our prayers are powerful.<\/p>\n

However, the Catholic Church does not teach that the saints in Heaven are omniscient or omnipotent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how is it that they “hear” the requests that come from earth? What makes them able to know our requests if only God is capable of knowing our thoughts?<\/p>\n

The answer is the mediation of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Saint Augustine teaches that just as the Church is the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit is the “soul of the Church.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This presence of the soul in the body is what allows messages to move through the body.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is the channel of communication that transmits to the different parts of the Church, from the triumphant Church in Heaven to the pilgrim Church on earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the communion of saints.<\/p>\n

However, what we have said could be considered as simple theory or fantasy by some.<\/p>\n

But God sometimes allows our eyes to see what our hearts of stone refuse to believe.<\/p>\n

At one time it was common to write “SAG” on envelopes, before placing them in the mail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means \u201cSan Antonio Gu\u00eda,”<\/strong> and it originated from this miraculous story. [<\/strong><\/em>scroll for more:]<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
