If you pray to Mary, and her response is “do whatever Jesus tells you to do”, what’s the point — we alreay knew to do what Jesus tells us to do.
And taking the story literally, if we pray to Mary, and she goes to Jesus, and he says “Woman, what have I to do with thee?”, it doesn’t sound like it’s very helpful, especially when she comes back to us and says “Just do whatever he says, he won’t listen to me”.
In my Bible, the story ends with Jesus making wine. How does your story end?
But that's not how the story in Scripture goes. Mary noting the lack of wine (or being made aware of it) asked Jesus. He responded to her, then she told a third party, the servants (essentially, the kitchen crew) to do whatever Jesus told THEM to do.
And taking the story literally, if we pray to Mary, and she goes to Jesus, and he says “Woman, what have I to do with thee?”, it doesn’t sound like it’s very helpful, especially when she comes back to us and says “Just do whatever he says, he won’t listen to me”.
But that's not what it says literally in English. or Latin. or Greek. The members of the wedding party never asked Jesus directly, NOR did the servants ask what they should do. There's nothing about Mary saying "he won't listen to me" or anything similar.
