He made a request. Yes I'm saying there is no difference, but I admit that word "to" causes problems.
What Catholics do when they pray "to" a Saint or Angel is present a request "to" the angel or saint who then gives it "to" Jesus, much as a Prayer Thread here a FR is presented "to" me, BUT, I give the request from the Prayer Thread to JESUS the ONE mediator between God and man. Jesus just allows me to ask him for something but ultimately he takes the request to the Father and obtains what I ask.
Maybe a better word Catholics could use instead of "to" is "through" because the prayer does not stop at me, an Angel or a Saint it goes on to Jesus then to the Father.
BTW I wish you a Blessed and Happy New Year! I'm nine hours into it already.
Thank you for allowing me a measure of your time, not a small thing today, we’ll have to do this again soon. Cheers!
