The Father hears only pure prayers, Harley D. All of our prayers are pure. It is the Holy Spirit's job to help us to pray.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Hmmmm...that does raise the question why you would believe that you need Mary's intercession when the Holy Spirit intercedes for us? Thanks for point this out.

All of our prayers are pure. It is the Holy Spirit's job to help us to pray But you and FK keep avoiding the question: why do reformed pray?
Your prayers will change nothing since everything is predestined. Your prayers are not your prayers but robots doing what God tells them to do. Which makes prayers meaningless. Nothing that you do will change what was predestined. That includes praying (works).
