Jesus is no longer on the cross, He has risen proving the acceptability of His sacrifice by the Father and displaying His victory over death .
I would pray to the victorious Lord and Savior .
1Cr 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
My best friend in the whole world is a devout Evangelical. Never once have I told her how to pray, and never once has she told me how to pray. I suggest you do the same.
Jesus, in His birth, death and resurrection transforms, divinizes and completes humanity.
"You have united Your divinity with our humanity. You have joined Your Imortality with our mortality. You have taken what is ours and given us what is Yours for our life and salvation" (Maronite Liturgy).
