1 Lucas is a compendium of all major Marian doctrines.
1:28 And coming to her, said, "Hail, for one! The Lord is with you.
29 But she was very busy in what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
30 Then the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Behold, conceive in your womb and bear a child, and that name is Jesus.
32 This will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give you the throne of David his father,
33 and to act upon the house of Jacob forever and His kingdom will have no end. "
34 But Mary said to the angel: "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?"
35 And the angel said to him in reply: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God ….. ……….
46 And Mary said: 16 "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
47 my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
48 For he has the humility of his handmaid, behold, henceforth all ages call me blessed.
49 The power of God has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
Prayers through Mary, Mother of God, is only a recitation of Bible verses above … At 1:28 +, Mary was encouraged to pursue a Son of God and in verse 1:46 +, its acceptance of the mission. She is fortunate to generations of generations, as done by the Catholic church to this day. It is right and proper that we honor the Virgin Mary, as God has loved and one of its domains, like Jesus obeyed his honor, and through his life.

First, before anyone asks a question, or are in a discussion of the entity referred to as God, should understand what this God is and must be obligatory.Therefore, since you have not declared you consider God to be, I will indicate what
understand God to be, considering what I've read and heard about
It same.That: Infinity (no limitations / may not be covered)
Eternal (no beginning or ending), Immortal (unknown birth or death), intangible (non-material), omnipotent (all-powerful, the only power), Wise (Everyone knows the source of all knowledge),
Ever (the only presence, there is a place that can not be), and more.
Therefore, if this is the case with God, then the word of God must
be infinite, and all the books that have been printed, and all those to be printed, could not contain the word God.Moreover, because God is supposed to be omnipotent and omniscient, then no one could
This is Word.Therefore altered, all changes and reprints of the Bible
would be impossible.

The words of the Hail Mary in the Bible. Also the early Church continued the oral traditions of the church. The Bible (NT) was not written until near the end of life of the Apostles, because they realized that the second coming will not happen immediately and I felt that someone has to write everything. However, some of which had not been written, but transmitted orally. The Bible is only one source of the Church. Holy tradition and the rationale for the other two.

Where in the Bible does not say God wants you to ask your friends to pray for you when you are rough times?
I still do not know thousands of Protestant Christians do.
Think of Mary or the saints as bffs to Catholics and Catholics when they are going through a hard time calling their bffs to talk to their main man of God with the hope that'll help out.

Do not pray to anyone but God, but I ask all saints, including Mary, pray for us.
But you know what, it must be correct. I mean, after 2000 years, and billions (not millions as you wrote), Catholics, who have discovered that you are smarter than the Church! I congratulate you. You have to be the first person to ever answer this question, and now will lead to all Catholics to Protestant groups!
Growing up an original question and after some time.

Do not use them as objects of prayer. We believe that believers in Christ will never die (so to speak). Our bodies die, but how can you be dead with Christ? Therefore, we believe we can ask them to pray for us, are our friends and our family. The saints are peole that God works through ways not normally used for people, so we that can help us by God. God uses us to help get it? Not "Oh give me money marry" her "Mary, I need help paying bills, pray for me."

You do not have to ask Mary for help - it's your choice. Have not read the Bible?? Jesus asked the others, even to get help. Sorry to see them as a negative broker taking the place of God - that's not how we see it or ask for their assistance. you really only have to ask why God made the choice to put things in Mary.

Mary is the intermediary between heaven and Jesus.
Therefore, Jesus is God, thinking about it for a moment.
She is the door, just as the vessel for the man to enter the world.
She says "My soul is to extend the Lord ."… What do you think this means? You quoted a part of the Bible, expecting to have another part of the carpet beneath your feet proud.
and as a side note, is there a place in the Bible where Jesus invites us to pray to Him?

It is not, in fact, until relatively recently, is a grave sin under the law of the pope to pray with her.

… all the prayers of the saints … the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God from the angel's hand. Revelation 8:3-4.
