We don’t worship pictures/statues/saints my friend. Worship to us is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I.e. Christ’s sacrifice of Himself to God the Father on Calvary prefigured by the sacrifice of lambs at Passover and all of the Old Covenant Temple sacrifices. That’s why we have priests bc only priests offer sacrifice, again see Old Covenant.
This is ONLY for God…worship.
Prayer is different. Think old English term…”I pray thee.” To implore, to ask, simply speak to. Can be to the Holy Trinity or in asking aid of the royal court of Heaven I.e. the saints, Our Lady (see Queen Mother of the Old Testament Kings). They are our friends who preceded us in the Faith and are alive and see Almighty God face to face.
