Are the saints in heaven aware of what’s happening here on earth? Yes they are!

[Angelos]

The Catholic Church teaches that the blessed in heaven are both aware of what's happening here on earth and eager to assist us with their prayerful intercession.

Hebrews 11 describes the faith of many Old Testament heroes, describing the persecution, asceticism, and martyrdoms they endured. The reason for this recounting is summarized in the first sentence of chapter 12:

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith

[Selene]

This explains everything and is even backed up by Scripture.  Thank you for posting it.
