Can we pray to the prophets like Moses, Abraham, and such? Are they part of the communion of saints? Are they in heaven?
 
Wikipedia’s article Abraham in the Catholic Liturgy mentions that Abraham’s feast day in the Roman Martryology is October 9 and includes a short prayer to him (and to Abel, whom Cain murdered,) from the Roman Ritual’s Liturgy for the Dying.

Moses’ feast day in the Roman Martyrology is September 4.

If I have read the Latin correctly, other Old Testament prophets in the Roman Martyrology include:

Malachi (January 14);
Habakkuk and Micah (January 15);
Amos (March 31);
Ezechiel (April 10);
Jeremiah (May 1);
Job (May 10);
Elisha (June 14);
Hosea and Haggai (July 4);
Isaiah (July 6);
Joel & Ezra (July 13);
Elijah (July 20);
Daniel (July 21);
Samuel (August 20);
Zechariah (September 6);
Jonah (September 21);
Obadiah (November 19);
Nahum (December 1);
Zephaniah (December 3);
David (December 29).
