When Praying who do usually worship? I'd like to encourage you to pray to three of my favorite angels. Miguel, Rafael, and Gabriel. If you dont know much about them & what they represent do some research! Trust me they have such nice story's and i always feel them present & i have my trust on them! Do you know about them? if not will you concider researching on them?

Praying is communication, not worship.
Catholics and other Christians only worship God.
Catholics share the belief in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including the Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Episcopal Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief where all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When you die and go to heaven, you do not leave this family.
As part of this family, you may ask your family and friends here on earth to pray for you. Or you may also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, or your deceased grandmother in heaven to pray for you.
Catholics and some other Christians also pray to angels, especially Guardian Angels. Here is a child's prayer:
Angel of God, my Guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 336, states of Angels: From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
With love in Christ.

I do not and WILL NOT pray to angels! It's not scriptural to pray to angels... they are created beings, created to serve God... NOT TO BE PRAYED TO AND WORSHIPED BY US!!!
Satan comes as an angel of light, so I'd be careful if I were you. And you should not try to lead people astray with false teaching.

As a wife and mother, I tend to pray to the Virgin Mary, I feel that she understands my troubles and concerns- as one wife and mother to another. I gain a lot of comfort from her.

I don't pray to anyone except the Holy Trinity and Jesus Christ. They can pray FOR us though.
