If Mary simple prodding of her son Jesus caused him to do something he originally did not intend to do and yet did it.

Will you also pray to an unnamed Greek woman as your intercessor? Mary's not the only woman who seems to have convince Jesus to do what he had not intended.

As someone else posted on this thread -

Mark 7:24-30

Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

“First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

“Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Be careful!

Next thing you know they’ll be declaring all dogs to be without sin...

Yes, I would pray for intersession from any saint or apostle for I need all the help I can get. But your example would not lead me to pray for intersession via this lady because her status is not known to me. Jesus did the same for several others such as the one who touched his garment but that did not mean she made it to heaven.

As I would pray for other I would also ask the same for me.
