Once in a while, one can worry that one is praying to a mental construct...almost like a mental idol. Jesus said to use his name when praying.(One can be assured that the prayer gets sent to the “right address”) It can also help when praying to address one’s prayer to the “God who knows that he is God”.(then using Jesus’ name in closure) There are lots of evil things that try to pretend that they are God and one’s head can get into a muddle worrying about it...but there is only the one most high God who “knows that he is GOD”...and this God sent his son!

Seems a little odd if not ridiculous to pray to St. Clementine to pass on the prayer to God, "in Jesus' name"...

Cue Marvin Gaye.....”I heard it through the Grape Vine”....
That is what you are describing in terms of getting a message from man to God!
