Is the Catholic practice of praying the holy books are apocryphal, or church tradition?

This is not a debate Protestant vs. Catholic, I'm just interested in * where * the justification of prayer to the saints in the Catholic faith. It is a. in the Apocrypha, or b. In the Catechism, or c. it's not written anywhere, it is only a tradition. Thank you!

Catholics argue that praying to Mary and the saints is no different than asking a person on earth to pray for you. Let us examine that claim. (1) The Apostle Paul asks other Christians to pray for him in Ephesians 6:19. Many Scriptures describe believers praying for them (2 Corinthians 1:11, Ephesians 1:16; Philippians 1:19, 2 Timothy 1:3). The Bible nowhere mentions anyone asking someone in heaven to pray for them. The Bible nowhere describes anyone in the sky praying for anyone on earth. (2) The Bible gives absolutely no indication that Mary or the saints can hear our prayers. Mary and the saints are not omniscient. Even glorified in heaven, yet they are finite beings with limitations. How could they hear the prayers of millions of people? Whenever the Bible refers to pray or speak with the dead, it is in the context of witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy, and divination – activities the Bible condemns (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). The only case where a "saint" is spoken, Samuel in 1 Samuel 28:7-19, Samuel was not exactly happy to be disturbed. It is perfectly clear that praying to Mary and the saints is completely different from asking a person on earth to pray for you. We have a solid foundation of the Bible, the other has no biblical basis whatsoever. God does not answer based on prayer that is prayer. God answers prayers as they are asked according to His will (1 John 5:14-15). There is absolutely no basis or need to pray for someone else God alone. There is no reason to ask those in heaven pray for us. Only God can hear our prayers. Only God can answer our prayers. Nobody in the sky at any greater access to the throne of God that we do through prayer (Hebrews 4:16).
