Paraclete,
Do you mean to tell me that if some loved one asked you to pray for them you would not?
Think about that a minute.
Being a Christian you are a saint, right?
Of course. Well then .....
To ask or request is to pray.
Even in court cases that asks for a settlement the terminology is pray, "The plaintiff prays for $_____."
If I request something from you, Saint Paraclete, I am praying to you.
People around the world pray to saints here on earth and in the hereafter.
It's called "The communion of Saints" which has been a part of Christianity for 2000 years.
My prayer to you is that you try to understand that.
Peace and kindness, Fred

I think you are missing the point Clete. The women misspoke. Catholics believe in the communion of Saints. We pray to ask their intercession. It is no different than the multitude of prayer requests that are posted on this board.
