I have posted this before and NEVER received an answer:
Why would you pray to Mary, or the Saints when the Father invites you into a direct intimate relation ship with Him?

Why must it be either/or? Do you think that Catholic and Orthodox do not also pray to God? Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you? If so, why did you do so and not just pray directly to God?
A love of Mary and the saints is no contradiction of a direct intimate relationship with God the Father. Indeed, we should love those whom He loves.

Why not ask them to pray for us. That’s what Catholics do.

Because Catholicism is a religion with strict rules, regulations, and hierarchies to follow if you want to earn your way into heaven. It's not about a relationship with a Savior based on God's grace.

I remember the nuns taught us that we shouldn't "bother" Jesus about anything other than something really major. The saints and Mary were there for the every day kind of concerns. :o)
