But the suggestion was not to pray TO Mary, I thought, but to pray to Jesus ABOUT Mary.

This was the request:

The problem with this is what does someone expect to happen? Do they expect a nice warm fuzzy feeling that Mary is "the way"? Do they expect an angel to *POP* up in the bedroom and say, "Fear not. Mary is A-OK."? Do they expect they'll pull out a grilled cheese sandwich off the stove and see Mary's face (at least what they think is her face) carved on it? How would the "truth" be revealed?

There isn't anything but emotional dribble in any of this. All truth is declared in scripture and scripture doesn't say to pray to Mary. It says to pray to your Father who is in heaven-not your mother. At the end of the day all we can say is what is in the scripture, not what we feel.
