We do not have statues of our mom to bow before nor do we pray to her. When we pray, it is to Jesus.

"When we pray, it is to Jesus."
Do you ever pray for others? Do you ever ask anyone to pray for you? The Catholic prayer known as the "Hail Mary" says (in part) "Mary . . . pray for us sinners." It is a request to Mary for her prayer on behalf of the petitioner. In that sense, it is no different from you asking someone to pray for you or your intentions.

Jesus prayed to the Father.
