Do you pray the "Our Father"? It was taught by Jesus Christ. Who was Jesus' mother?

I'm sorry, but I will not much play along with your confused questioning, which to my own eyes, is designed to lead only to more of the same Marianist syncretic confusion.

We have a spiritual Father, in Heaven. Jesus taught no one to pray to His earthly mother, or implore her or anyone else (including angels) for their own "heavenly" intercessions.

The very "our Father" prayer which you reference, reinforces prayer to be addressed to --- none other than "Our Father" in heaven.

The other aspect to my unwillingness to allow yourself to draw me in to some discussion/narrative any further than I allow in this reply, is that you asked me what "I" prayed, thus personalizing it, right off the bat.

Step back a few paces. Try your question again if you wish -- but speak of principles, and do not require me to answer what I "pray" or do not.

Discuss the issues (whatever those may be) not people here, as much as possible.

That said, if any have some personal testimony or witness they are led to share, then I won't kick about the act of them doing so.
