You mean you never asked anyone else "down here" to pray for you?

How much more, someone already in Heaven...

Incidentally, with regard to John 14:6 says Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

this is not contradicted by the Rosary.

The rosary is to draw us to Jesus; in fact, the intention for the fourth glorious mystery (the Assumption of Mary) is "To Jesus Through Mary".

Not, you know, "to the Father through Mary".

Not *exclusively* you know, but certainly one more heavenly trawling net to save lost souls and show them Eternal Mercy.

I have asked my wife a couple times to include me in her prayers when I was feeling bad.
That’s a long way from kneeling before a statue or picture of someone and praying to her/him.
Maybe you don’t do that, but I know for a fact that many do.

To Jesus Through Mary

This sounds very nice and religious but respectfully, it's not the gospel. " For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Tim 2:15.

When you ascribe titles like mediatrix to a person and treat a person like a god, you are guilty of idoltry and breaking the 1st commandment.

Is Mary God's mother? Yes
Is she blessed above all women? Yes
Is she to be loved, esteemed and honored? Yes.
Is she everything the Catholic church teaches about her? No.
