What is wrong with asking Mary to pray to Jesus too?

When Jesus taught us to pray, He didn't say "Our Father And Saints". He simply said "Our Father". There's a reason for that.

Prayer to God, and God alone, is sufficient. Timothy 2:1 is quite right - praying FOR others is very useful and we are commanded to do so. Praying TO others who are not God is not necessary.

Again, get a dictionary and look up the word pray. It isn’t always related to worshipping God. You have an American view on this. Believe me, in other countries pray can and does mean something else.
