++Asking someone to pray FOR you is not the same as praying TO someone.++

That looks like a communication error to me. If someone has ASKED for the intercession of a Saint, that person might say, “I prayed to St. Paul for help.” What is meant by that is that St. Paul has been asked for intercessory help..i.e. praying to God for the person who asked.

And yet if someone ask you to get your neighbor to pray for them, you are not praying to your neighbor, right???

Or you may want your aunt Gertrude who has passed on to pray for you, you don't pray to your aunt Gertrude, do you???

So it's no miscommunication error at all...We recognize that you guys are fully cognizant between the difference between asking someone to pray for you and 'praying to' a Saint or the mother of Jesus...
