We pray to those who have eternal life in Christ.
I know you do...but that is necromancy.
Why not go directly to Jesus? He died and was resurrected just so you could have a direct line to Him. Why use intermediaries when He is asking you to speak with Him directly.
To ignore Him is to insult Him.
Ignore the tradition of the Church and go directly to Him.
Try it tonight!
He seeks your prayers.
