Why waste your time praying to a dead sinner who needed the same grace for salvation that you need? Why not go boldly before the very throne of grace?

The answer to this is deceptively simple:
One can pray to the demon that answers to “Mary” without risking being rebuked for anything by the Holy Spirit.

Now there's an honest, sincere, non-loaded question if I ever saw one.
Why bother asking your friends, neighbors, and fellow church goers to pray for you. They are dead in sin, just like the rest of us. At least the Blessed Mother is in Heaven, and as mother of Our Lord Jesus, we should treat her, as He treated her.
She needed, and was given, salvation. She was also given a singular grace, the grace to be conceived without original sin, so that she could be a pure vessel, a new ark, for Our Lord and Savior, God made man, Jesus Christ.
