I ask for the favor of God on my life. Saints are DEAD. Why should we ask dead people to pray for us?

Saints are DEAD.

Again, no eternal life? No hereafter?

Because since Christ's resurrection they have the Beatific Vision.

You, do not.

Certainly with respect to this time/space dimension, their mortal bodies are dead.

And, I believe that their Heavenly bodies are focused entirely Heavenward . . . certainly on the whole and most of the time.

We don’t know what “coud of witnesses” means.
