If we have been given direct access the throne of Gog,given permission to call Him "Abba Father", and commanded to cast all our cares on Him, why would we want to waste the time talking to someone of lesser spiritual stature? Is God too busy to hear all our prayers that He has to delegate that out? And then too, are these 'saints' to whom we pray omniscient in that they can hear each and every prayer that is prayed to them?
Prayer is the highest form of worship and nobody, deserves worship but God alone.

G-d too busy? Yes, I think maybe He is...
Kidding aside, Christ created His saints; he allowed them to have the most difficult lives, more so than anyone else save Himself. Is it their love for Him (through their sufferings) that makes Jesus listen a little louder to the requests of His beautiful saints? Yes, I believe that's true.

Bullseye!
Thats why praying to Mary or any other “saint” is nothing but idolatry.
