Two prepositions do the work here and they are not interchangeable. names who you are praying to, or names what you are praying for. The verb is otherwise intransitive, so the thing prayed for is never a direct object. Preĝo is a prayer, a church, and the volitive is what you will meet in translated liturgy. Note the ĝ, which is the j of judge rather than a hard g, so the word comes out as PREH-jee and not PREG-ee.
