No prayers to angels in the Bible, huh?
"Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure." (Ps 103:20-21)
"Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts." (Psalm 148:1-2)
(and, of course, from the Deuterocanonical portion of Daniel: "O ye angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever" - Daniel 3:58)
Seems that it's okay to address the angels during prayer.
In Jesu et Maria,
(a) There are no % persons" in heaven.
(b) St. Michael is not now, and never was, a human being, so he most certainly isn't % ," in any sense of the word you care to use.
Michael, Michael of the morning,
Fresh chord of Heaven adorning,
Keep me safe today,
And in time of temptation
Drive the devil away.
Amen.
