Praying for someone is a form of mediation, which is what we ask Mary to do for us. Are you saying that no one should pray for anyone else?

You have conflated two separate directions into one. Praying to God for, for instance, a deceased loved one or an ill person is one direction. Praying to a dead person to get them to intercede in some fashion is forbidden in Scripture. Are you familiar with the necromancy witch and Saul episode in which Saul sought an audience with the deceased Prophet, Samuel?

We all can pray for someone -- because we are here. They can ask us. Mary cannot hear you; she's not here. She's in heaven. She's not omniscient.
So... how you do ASK her to pray for you...hmmm? If she's in heaven wouldn't you have to pray to her to pray for you?
Why not just pray to God? We don't need Mary to intervene -- she didn't die on the cross for us; Christ did.

Ask your neighbor to pray for you.
