You are obviously a Catholic and therefore truly don't know the real answer. Scripture teaches the only one to pray to is the only one who lived and died AND lives again. John14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life,: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. All the saints of the Catholic Church lived and died, NONE of them rose again to save our souls, remember GOD is a jealous GOD and gets angry when one prays to someone other than Him or His SON. Our predestination to Heaven is ONLY thru Jesus Christ. ref:Ephesions1:5. Jesus can help you with everything, even a toothache, at the same time He may refer you to a DR. for antibiotics.
