I’m glad you posted Col 3:5. It shows what I’m talking about. Prayers like what you posted earlier are not “inordinate affection”. And as I’m sure you’d agree, Col 3:5 doesn’t forbid all displays of affection.
You may disagree that the level of affection shown in the prayer you posted isn’t “inordinate”, but you would be ignoring the first post I posted to you on this thread, and what it contains. Thus, if your next post to me is to say something to the effect that, “How can you not say such a prayer is inordinate affection?”, it will be ignored, for ignoring the initial points I made to you and this being a circular argument. Also, any response that complains, “Mary is not the mediator between God and Man therefore you shouldn’t be praying to her anyway” will also be ignored as, not only has the concept of the Communion of Saints been argued as nauseaum here, and I have no desire to be drawn into such a debate, but more to the point, Christ’s status as mediator is not in dispute here, at least not to me.
FYI
Look around a Catholic Church and Catholic homes. Any images of God made like to corruptible man?
