I'm here not only to pray for him, but also to pray to him

Oops...!

Don't there have to be a certain number of verifiable miracles before they can make him a saint?

Because 'pray to' is a centuries old figure of speech from when 'pray' also meant 'request'and of anyone, not just God.

Example: And what, pray tell, does that mean? Did I pray to you? No, I requested something from you.

Another example:'prithee', which you read in Shakespeare, a contraction of 'I pray thee', a polite request.

How can we expect non-catholics to understand intercession when some catholics don't? sheeesh
