God see us all the time,He hear us all the time,so why dont we just worship Him alone,and stop worshiping what is created and start worshiping what is Creator.that includes saints,people,animals and rest of the world we see,becose God is unlike we have ever seen or imagined...much ,much greater and there are no words to explain or to reach His Majesty and His Beuty.Only He can explain Himself and we are only His servants.

We do have mediation with God. As Catholics, we pray through the Saints to God, and we pray DIRECTLY TO GOD, and of course we have what is called Confession, or Reconciliation. We don't worship the Saint's we admire what they have done to attain Sainthood through prayer and sometimes suffering. People such has Mother Terese of Calcutta are people we look up to and admire and we can only hope and pray that we can be like her and othe Saints of the Church.

I Timothy 2:3-6 says:
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

Yes!
[I Timothy 2:5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
[Hebrews 12:24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Before Jesus was crucified, a mediator was necessary. But, after Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, there was a new mediator. Him. His death on the cross gave us a path straight to God. That's why the curtain in the temple (seperating the "Holy of holies") was ripped in half upon his death--a priest no longer had to go to God on our behalf. We now just cross the cross and go straight to God.

Nope. We can approach Him directly. That was the significance of the Temple veil being torn into 2 from top to bottom when Christ was on the Cross. When we have difficulty communicating with God, the Holy Spirit encourages us.

Jesus is our intecessor. We no longer need earthly ones. IF we pray in spirit and in truth The LORD hears us.
U Are Absolutely Correct in saying we should worship the creator and not the creations a lot of people are sidetracked!

Well, as a person who knows the only correct way to communicate with god, I think that, yes, you all certainly do need me to mediate. Look god's a very busy elephant headed man, and he'll be damned, damned if he lets every schlub on the street come strolling into his office, wasting his valuable, omnipotent time. That's why he set me as a gatekeeper.

If there is such a god, why the hell would he want to be worshipped, and how can you possibly be considered a servant?
Those ideas are applicable to earthly kings who need helpers, not to an all powerful all knowing being.

It is the nature of humans to be dull-witted when it comes to
spiritual things. We have a natural ability to block things out to keep from having a sensory overload, resulting in a nervous breakdown.
That has caused us to close the doors of reality. Since we have
powerful spirit within, and our thoughts create our reality. Christ died to use His power to reopen those doorways to spirit.

The bible says in James, "The prayers of the righteous are very effective."
So, if your not righteous, you may wanna pray with someone that is. Like the Saints in heaven, a good friend, a pastor, etc.
