From DeMontfort

6. I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where he became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish in her wonders beyond our understanding. She is the vast and divine world of God where unutterable marvels and beauties are to be found. She is the magnificence of the Almighty where he hid his only Son, as in his own bosom, and with him everything that is most excellent and precious. What great and hidden things the all-powerful God has done for this wonderful creature, as she herself had to confess in spite of her great humility, “The Almighty has done great things for me.” The world does not know these things because it is incapable and unworthy of knowing them.

And where in the above statement does it say that we have to pray to her to influence Jesus?

On the other hand, in the Bible, we have words from Jesus Himself, who taught us how to pray:

“Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven” (Matt. 6:9).

And this from the Apostle Paul:

“For through him [Jesus] we both [Jew and Gentile believers] have access in one Spirit to the Father” (Eph. 2:18).

We see two important truths, then, in prayer to the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit.

First, Christian praying is Trinitarian praying. There is no mention of any other person in prayer.

Second, Christian praying exhibits the very structure of the gospel. Jesus stands at the center as the mediator, the Father as the addressee, and the Spirit as the enabler.

There is no mention of Mary in prayers at all. In fact, after the gospels, Mary was only mentioned once by name and never again.
