You do pray to the saints when you need something......that is if you "pray the Mass as it is".

That is presumptuous. I'm talking about my personal prayer life. You are talking about public worship. Those are not the same thing. I'm totally in line with Catholic theology in just praying to God.

I can't imagine trying to get through mass without invoking the prayers of the Saints.

The Sanctus would be particularly awkward.

More awkward would be the 1st option in the Penitential rite when we pray , "......I ask Blessed Mary ever-Virgin , all the Angels and Saints.....to pray for me to the Lord our God " .

The Church's doctrine on the intercession of the Our Lady comes across very powerfully in today's Collect at the beginning of the Eucharist.....

"Pardon the faults of your servants , we pray , O Lord , that we , who cannot please you by our own deeds , may be saved through the intercession of the Mother of Your Son and our Lord . Who lives and reigns......"
