ask why Mary?

I have seen that answer.

Now please answer my question: Why not pray to her parents and ask them to intercede for us? After all, they are the parents of the mother of God. In the scheme of things that should carry some weight.

I have seen that answer.

Then you know the answer to your question. Why Mary answers why not Mary's parents - in the context of your equivalence.

Why not pray to her parents and ask them to intercede for us?

We ask for the prayers of all Saints in Heaven.

After all, they are the parents of the mother of God. In the scheme of things that should carry some weight.

See the first answer above.
