>>....” He DID NOT SAY to ask St. Anthony or St. Anybody to pray for us.<<
and BTW, they why do any of us bother with prayer requests?
If anyone is in doubt, they be safe with Jesus’ example.
As for why bothering with prayer requests, a lot of times, I don’t ask anyone to pray for me and I simply go directly to the Lord (in fact, I do this more than anything). I know He’ll follow through.
