Sorri, no!
Why do not you study catholic.com, left panel, so it does not sound so ignorant next time.
Do not worry, it's short, like the cliff notes!

Do not pray to Mary. We asked them to pray for ourselves as if it were any of your Christian friends.

I really pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus. We also ask Mary pray for us, just ask your friends or family to pray for you.
Why is it so hard for you through your head?.

Do not pray to Mary instead of Jesus.
We pray to Jesus. We ask Mary to pray to Jesus with us and for us.

Do not pray to Mary. We ask Mary pray for us.
Christians believe in life like Christ. What Would Jesus? Jesus follows the 10 commandments. One of the commandments is "Honor thy father and thy mother." We honor the mother of Jesus as it does.

Most of our prayers directly to God, the Holy Trinity.
Sometimes we ask our loved ones to pray for us. These loved ones may be living in heaven or to live on Earth.
Santos + +
We share the view of Catholics in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal and Methodist Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When it dies and goes to heaven, do not let this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.
As part of this family, you can ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you can also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.
Prayer to the saints in heaven is simple communication, not worship.
Ask others to pray for you if your loved ones on Earth or your loved ones in heaven is always optional.

+ + The Blessed Virgin Mary
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28)
"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb "(Luke 1:42).
The Hail Mary prayer simply recites passages from the Bible (the Word of God) and asks Mary to pray for us:
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. (These are the words that the angel Gabriel said to Mary, a Bible quote.)
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (This is Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting, another biblical quotation.)
Santa Maria, (The angel Gabriel said he was full of grace and Elizabeth says he was blessed.)
Mother of God (the Bible says that Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. (A simple request to pray for us.)
Amen.

In Luke 1:48, Mary prophesied, "From now on all generations will call me blessed."
A question for Christians who take the Bible literally: Do you call Mary "blessed"? If not, why?
+ With love in Christ.
