“Praying FOR someone is not the same as praying TO someone.”

Mea culpa! Perhaps I could’ve been clearer by saying,

Praying FOR someone is not the same as praying TO that same person”

Where in the Scriptures does anyone pray to the saints in heaven? For any reaason?

“Where in the Scriptures does anyone pray to the saints in heaven? For any reason?”.

Not to be found, nor does it need to be.

"Where in the Scriptures does anyone pray to the saints in heaven? For any reason?"

In Gen. Ch. 19, Lot ask the Angels not to destroy a city and they listen to his prayers :

"And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city....And they brought him forth, and set him without the city...And Lot said to them: I beseech thee my Lord...There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it....And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken....Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor."
