Like it or not but Mary is the mother of God. Live with it. And for you information we Catholics do not pray to her. We ask her to be our referee
She is not here. If you ask her, you are praying to her. Like it or not.
Mary was the mother of Jesus’ humanity, not his deity. She was blessed to be given that role in the same way we are blessed with other things. Israel was blessed to be the nation chosen to bring us the Messiah but we do not pray to or worship them.
