I pray to Jesus to intercede for them, as the Bible tells us to. No need to be obstinate and ridiculous. Or is there...?

If a friend of yours is sick, you intercede by praying for them, and this is a virtue and even a Christian duty. Okay, so far so good. But, if the Blessed Virgin prays for that same person that you did, her act is not a virtue. It has now become blasphemy which denies the work of Christ. How do you manage that kind of tortuous reasoning? Do you believe that the saints graduate from virtue and charity?
