Well, good advice there.

But the Saints are alive in Christ: far more alive than we can currently understand.

Remember that to pray is simply - to ask. "I pray thee" means the same as "Please".

If I can ask my friend Gary for help with my car, why can't I ask Mary to pray for me and my family?

Lastly: the prayers of the Saints are so important that they get a specific mention in the Apocalypse.

    And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
