True worship (as opposed to veneration or honor) does indeed belong to God alone, and we never worship man or any other creature as we worship God. But while worship may take the form of prayer, as in the Mass and other liturgies of the Church, not all prayer is worship. When we pray to the saints, we’re simply asking them to help us, by praying to God on our behalf, or thanking them for having already done so.

let's take any "prayer to a saint" like to Michael Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls or to St. Jude Pray for me who am so miserable; ....that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. etc. etc. --> the saint has no powers of creation -- all is FROM God.
