I want to pray to God in the company of Mary and the saints...

That is not what your prayer states. You are not praying to God. Please examine...

Hail Mary, Full of Grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art though among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners
Now and in the hour of our death
Amen.

Nowhere are you asking anyone other than Mary to pray for you. This is a pray solely devoted to Mary and no one else. And the reasoning is that "The Lord is with [sic]her".

Mary cannot save anyone. You might as well go right to the top. If your concern is "the hour of our death", He can help in that department as well.

To quote the late Larry Norman, "Take a chance with Jesus - I highly recommend it."

Indeed not, in this particular prayer I ask Mary to pray to the Lord. In some other prayers I might ask another saint, or pray directly to Him, but in this one I ask for Mary's prayers.

The Rosary incorporates also Our Father and concludes with this prayer, again for conversion of souls:

Oh, my Jesus,
Forgive us our sins
Save us from the fires of Hell
Bring all souls to Heaven
Especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

Of course, whatever precisely Mary's powers are, they all stem from the fact that the Lord is with her in a very direct way. For that reason I seek her company. She is a saint, not a goddess.
