Most of what will be written in this post agrees with what has been posted previously above, because any plausible ability/gift we may be speaking of, finds its source in God - who loves to share with us on an intimate level.
I would think, if we were to judge solely from our Blessed Mother’s apparitions here on earth, she would , as our Mother , have a type of inside line on what is going on that perhaps other Saints might not have … But then would that change if we were to invoke another Saint ?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Christian Name (2156 & 2165) ] says we are assured of the intercession of the Saint whose name was conferred on us at Baptism . It doesn’t even say we need invoke that particular Saint first … although it would make even more sense to do it once we know that. Plus, Jesus tell us “Ask and you shall receive.” [Luke 11:9]
One of Saint André Bessette’s (Brother André – founder of St. Joseph’s Oratory, Montreal) recommendations was :
“ Pray to Saint Joseph in these words : St. Joseph, pray for me as if you were here on earth in my place.” This implies that, at the very least , at the moment of invocation, St. Joseph would be aware of what was going on in our lives on earth … However that in itself, would still be a significantly lacking, imperfect statement because in eternity, time does not exist as we know it on earth.
Let us consider the Hail Mary a moment. We pray, “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now … and at the hour of our death . Amen”.
*Lex orandi lex credendi *– generally ,“The law of prayer is the law of belief” or, “ The Church prays as She believes.” So if we’re asking our Blessed Mother to pray for us
now, then she must know what is going on in our lives
now.
She has to be aware of earthly events, because her apparitions call us to conversion. Not only that, but she knew of future events as well, if we judge from her words at Fatima :* “The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI”* - being one example.
If Our Lady truly is our Mother – showing a motherly concern for our salvation, desiring that each and all of her children should get to Heaven , then it would surely follow that as a Mother, she would be watching over her children … wouldn’t it ?
If we consider our own guardian Angel a moment, this Angel never leaves us ! Our Blessed Mother is Queen of Angels . In my mind (just my own limited personal opinion) I’m sure our Blessed Mother sees each one of her children . If God conferred on Her that she would be the Mother of each one of us – regardless of our resistance or incredulity , then that honour would include the ability of being the most attentive Mother ever, in the entire universe, for all eternity.
