What a great post!
Jesus prayed to the Father. Jesus never said, “worship me”. He said worship God the Father.
I follow the example Jesus set. He said to believe in him but he never said to worship him. That would be worshiping a man, even a divine man.
The prayer begins “Our Father who art in Heaven” for a reason.
The best way is to say three Hail Marys, one for each of the three persons of the Godhead.
Depends if one really wants their prayers heard and answered. Christ = God with us in a flesh body prayed to the Heavenly Father. Christians pray to the Heavenly Father in the name of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
