Jesus did say He was the way. What He didn’t say is that prayers from a holy person were of no worth. The Bible, in fact, says the exact opposite. Prayers from Mary are a good thing.
Jesus said that you cannot buy your way into Heaven, that you cannot work your way into Heaven, that only your relationship with Christ - asking Him to be your Savior - will save you. Nothing else.
Sorry, those are the rules that Jesus laid down. They trump anything from anyone - or thing - else.
