Hearing intersessions in Heaven

Our Lord said, 'I am come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.' Catholic theology is that the denizens of Heaven experience not Time, which is part of this world that is destined to pass away, but Aevum (also called 'aeviternity' by some writers) which is the nearest that a creature with a finite beginning can have to eternity, which belongs to God alone. If we mentally project our present selves into our idea of Heaven, it appears a tall order to hear all the prayers of the faithful. But there is more than abundant evidence that prayers are heard. The problem, as with the structure of the atom – which we have never seen – is in the limitations of our own imagination.
