Yes?? Then why do Catholics make graven images and bow down to them? It doesn’t say “bow down to them AND serve them” it says “bow down to them OR serve them”. Catholics DO make graven images and they DO bow down to them in direct disobedience of the second commandment.

And based on the many prayers easily found in a google search addressed to Mary, it's clear that many of them DO serve her.

One such example.....

http://www.marypages.com/PrayerstoMary.htm

My Queen, My Mother, I offer myself entirely to thee. And to show my devotion to thee, I offer thee this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve.

Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me as thy property and possession. Amen.

I'd make a great prayer to GOD.

To Mary, not so much.

Nobody can say that that's not serving her, or worshiping her for that matter.
