Full disclosure, I was born and raised RCC.
With the incarnation, Jesus Christ came to us through Mary. An omnipotent God has no need of a "natural birth" to make Himself incarnate. And yet, He chose to enter this world through Mary's womb.
God does not do things arbitrarily, and because it was part of His divine plan that Christ come to us through Mary, looking to Mary should help us better understand our journey to Christ.

Fine.
Jesus was born of Mary.
But I don’t need to follow her, or pray to her, or to ‘believe’ in her.
She was a sinner who needed a Savior.
