There is no question about that. The reason to pray to saints in not to bypass the Mediator but to get to Him.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
Get the rack ready!!!
There is no question about that. The reason to pray to saints in not to bypass the Mediator but to get to Him.
