I have a doubt while praying to saints whether saints can hear our prayers and can present the places we pray as thousand will be praying at a time

The only possible explanation is that Saints in heaven are not subject to the same time constraints as we here on earth are. Our concept of time is serial - one thing happens after the next, but heaven operates out of time. Jesus said “My Kingdom is not of this world”, so it makes sense that it is outside of time. Lumen Gentium says “They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus”. They have all the “time” in heaven to intercede for us, even if we pray all at once.

Christ during the transfiruration shows us that the saints can hear hear us. In ST John’s Revelation we read that the saints take the prayers of the faithful and placce them before the thrown.
