Did you ask Mary? Do you really expect Mary to lead someone away from her Son? Holy Spirit dwells in her, does it not?
The "vain repetitions" part is nowhere in the Gospel either.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions (battalogēsēte), as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
battalogēsēte - I chatter, am long-winded, utter empty (vain) words, stammer, repeat.
I do believe that even the Catholic Church considers Matthew on of the gospels.
....the mary catholicism worships is not the mary of the Bible rather a created entity/idol of their own imaginations and making.
Additionally as Christians we have direct communication with Jesus Christ...We have the unfailing promise of Jesus that He will hear our prayers.
Jesus said...."So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened‚‚."(Luke 11: 9-10)
There is only ONE Mediator between mankind and God and that is Jesus Christ. (ITim:2)
Jesus is the only one worthy to present us before God's throne of grace....It is because of our great Mediator Jesus Christ that we are able to stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ Himself...Jesus is always interceding for us....no one but He is able to intercede for us...not saints..not mary,...Only Jesus Christ alone.
Matthew disagrees with you.
6:7
