Catholics ask others -- including the Saints and Mary -- to pray FOR them, we do not pray TO them (not unless we are heretics)Well you just condemned yourself on a public forum...Here are just a couple of pages of your 'prayers to Mary'...And many of those prayers DO NOT ask for intercession but are actual prayers to Mary for her to provide relief for whatever ails you...

From the catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, per vatican.va...
968 - Her role in relation to the Church and to all humanity goes still further. "In a wholly singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls. For this reason she is a mother to us in the order of grace."509
It just doesn't get more much more blasphemous than this. Mary works with Christ to save men's souls??? Don't RCs ever step back and realize the profound, anti-Scriptural, idolatrous error of that statement?

Catholics who are not in heresy do not worship Mary. They honor Her as the Mother of Christ.
HAIL MARY
FULL OF GRACE
THE LORD IS WITH THEE
BLESSED ARE THOU AMONG WOMEN
AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THEY WOMB, JESUS.
Do you have a problem with this prayer?
