That's a Catholic thing...It doesn't tell us to pray to Jesus...If it isn't spelled right out, the Catholic don't know where to find it...It doesn't exist...
However, like everything else one has to;
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The very last prayer in the New Testament is addressed to Jesus by the Apostle John: “Even so come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20
Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit” (Acts 7:59)
In the Gospels, Jesus was worshipped, and He accepted it (John 9:38)
Paul prayed to Jesus when he besought the Lord to remove his thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:8)
1Co 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
There are prayers to Jesus all over the bible...Catholics seem to have a hard time understanding that Jesus is God...
Scripture tells us that God is Lord, Jesus is Lord and the Holy Spirit is Lord...
Very good answer. I asked the question because it seems to me that when I hear protestants pray, it is always to God, the Father, in the name of Jesus and never directly to Jesus or to the Holy Spirit.
Catholics have many prayers to Jesus, to the Father and to the Holy Spirit.
The question was asked not from ignorance but the desire to learn more about someone’s understanding of faith and prayer.
It is telling that the automatic assumption was that I didn’t know or that Catholics don’t pray to Jesus.
