Wellllllllllll, you think that you can get me to stop believing that the Saints are with God and they can pray for us and I can't stop believing that. I'll ask Mary to pray for you and I'll stop trying to explain the Bible and Tradition to you.
You just continue to worship God in the little confines of your own mind in your closet and in your exclusivity and I'll worship Him in the context of His all encompassing, timeless and glorious infinity and in His whole Creation which includes all the Saints, past, present and future.
Is the prayer the Hail Mary ever said in the name of Jesus, or for that matter any Catholic prayer?
Well, Becky, the source and summit of Catholic life, the Mass, particularly the Eucharistic canon, is entirely about Jesus and His Sacrifice.
Every prayer in the Mass is directed to the Father. They are closed with the short version "through Christ Our Lord" or with the extended dance mix version "We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever"
The climax point of the Eucharistic prayer comes at the end when the consecrated elements are held high and the priest invites our "Amen!" to the extended prayer, in doxology form:
Through Him
With Him
In Him
In the unity of the Holy Spirit
All Glory and Honor is Yours, Almighty Father
Forever and ever.
Does that answer your question?
