At a healing service in October 1995, he and a dozen church members were praying to her [Faustina]

We ASK the saints for help with intercessory prayer. Apparently, this is too complicated for you to grasp.

You are free to do exactly what you want to do. Pray to a piece of green cheese for all I care. Nevertheless, you need to show me where Prayer to the Saints... is Scriptural ~ (SMEDLEYBUTLER) to show me that praying to the dead or any man is the right thing to do. That is, after all, a far different thing to do than asking a saint to pray and make intercession for you.

The prayer to her is not one of worship but is akin to asking for a favor and does not in any way imply worship of Faustina. Apparently, the concpet of intercessory prayer is beyond your limited mental capabilities.
