"Never apologize for the
Blessed Virgin Mary!"

BTW, Catholics do not worship the Blessed Virgin Mary. We ask her to pray for us. Got it?

I cannot find the Biblical instructions to pray to Mary, or attempt to speak with her... or any other natural person presently living or passed on.... ??
I do find prohibitions in the holy law against necromancy--talking with the dead...
--AND--
Jesus telling us that there exists a great chasm between the eternal states....
--- And further the (Biblical) Scriptures written by "Moses and the Prophets" remain sufficient to warn the unrepentant. (Luke 16)
I do find many instructions and encouragements to pray directly to "Our Father...." -- in the Name of the only Begotten Son.
--That God knows His Own.... hears us... and answers according to His Will.
Our identity as "new creations" and adopted children in Christ gives us all the access we need --
Why spend money on long distance--
.... When it's really just a local call??
