what makes sense in your mind is not always in line with what God has to say through HIS word about the matter. You know the Creator of you and all? we mere humans often think we know better or come up with things that we think God surely would approve of, yet many many times we are wrong. He never is.
Jesus even said pray to The Father. no where does it tell us to ask Mary or any person to intercede.
I was raised catholic and have learned and understand the difference of respecting Mary but not disobeying the Son of God who told me my prayers should be to The Father.
But when Mary interceded for the couple at Cana who ran out of wine, He didn't tell her to have the couple ask Him directly.
Scripture makes it perfectly clear that Mary intercedes for us.
