Well then you should never ask anyone to pray to Jesus for you. Because if you do, you are using other people to get His ear.

The bible teaches us to pray for each other.

Roms. 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers."

But we are not to communicate with the dead.

Deut. 18:10-11 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a with, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Necromancer" From a Greek word meaning to divine with the dead; one who tries to cmmunicate with the dead.

Are you a Seventh Day Adventist? Just tell me now because I don't want to waste my energy. Anyway Mary is not dead. She is has eternal life in heaven with Jesus. And Catholics are taugh by the Catholic Church not to consult with fortune tellers and the like. From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

"All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone." (Catechism, #2116)
