Q. 1196. Do we not slight God Himself by addressing our prayers to saints?
A. We do not slight God Himself by addressing our prayers to saints, but, on the contrary, show a greater respect for His majesty and sanctity, acknowledging, by our prayers to the saints, that we are unworthy to address Him for ourselves, and that we, therefore, ask His holy friends to obtain for us what we ourselves are not worthy to ask.

After you get saved you will be worthy...And you can go right to the source...Right to the head of the class...Straight on up to the King...

Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Jesus knows me personally...We spend a lot of time together...

Amen! The Bible makes it clear that we're to pray to GOD. "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be THY name..." is a fairly clear instruction that leaves no doubt about whether a middleman is required.
