They pray to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They did not go to Mary first.

If you are going to pray to God the Father, then why go to Mary at all?

Don't you think He's going to answer you?

Do you not believe the promises Jesus made about the Father hearing and answering our prayers Himself?

Do you think Mary's going to get you something that God Himself wouldn't give you?

Do you think Mary's going to get you something that God Himself wouldn't give you?

No, they think since Mary is "the mother of God", He has to do what she tells him.
