>> we do not pray TO Mary - we talk to her, love her, ask her for her intercession and generally have a relationship with her<<

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

I can’t seem to find any reference or instructions to pray or even talk to those who have passed from this life.

“I can’t seem to find any reference or instructions to pray or even talk to those who have passed from this life.”

The reference is that Jesus clearly is seen conversing with Elijah and Moses in Mark 9:4. Elijah and Moses are dead (as far as this earth)
