>>Same thing, as someone is to request the prayer-FOR; that is the prayer-TO.<<

I’m sorry but it is not the same thing.

We are only instructed to give our praise, honor, glory to God the Father in the Name of Jesus Christ. As Jesus taught His disciples to pray.

Praising and honoring -- in short, venerating -- a saint IS honoring and praising and glorifying Christ Who made them saints.
