So Mary was "just chosen", eh? All the same, the fact remains that G_d chose Mary over anyone else means that He considered her most worthwhile. Who's going to argue with G_d Himself?
I am a Born-Again, (now a Presby with a new respect for the Catholic faith, thank you blessed John Paul the Great) but one willing to respect the Blessed Virgin Mary. It may be that G_d alone answers prayers, but He choses the saints to help listen and carry out, kind of a heavenly conduit.

They carry out the requests?
Boy that is interesting.So they do not just ask the real power to actually accomplish the mission, they themselves actually cure the person, or stop the flood, or find the lost whatever( St. Anthony, please come around, something is lost and cannot be found.).
Where do you get this stuff?
