I don't see how you can call formal prayer and charitable hyperbole "the same."

I don't think anyone claimed that they are the same. But why do you think that they are mutually exclusive?

I don't think anyone claimed that they are the same.

That was a direct quote.

But why do you think that they are mutually exclusive?

One does not teach solemn formulae to children with the expectation they'll know said formulae are "pet indulgences."

Similarly, why would St. Jude care if one published the assertion prayers through him "get it done."
