Comments on: Catholics, why pray to Mary Jesus said to her?

Because Catholics are the blind led by the blind.
Woe unto you, Pharisees, scribes, hypocrites (and now the Catholics).
When will you understand that God is life, Jesus is life, the Holy Spirit is living. We are living now.
God exhorts us to pray for one another, while on earth. Not only in words but deeds (James 2:14-20). Once dead, we can not do anything. Read the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Lk 13:19-31).
Peter and Paul and other NT authors asked people living to pray for him, not dead.
Mary listened to Jesus while on earth, and that too only once after he began his ministry at 30. And he said: "Woman, what have I to do with you? Mina hours is not yet come. " -John 2:4. He did it out of courtesy as the obligation to others as well.
The Bible forbids us to pray, by or through the dead. That is totally unscriptural rebellious to God and care for nature, because He hears all the time. The man is appointed to die once and then the sentence Hebrews 9:27 (And that does not have years for God to judge, as in the courts in some countries)
Mary was a wonderful woman, but so were many others in the Bible. What do Catholics? Trying to do things by their use (or should I say exploiting) of justice? Do you think God will forgive them for their evil deeds, even if they could pray for you? God knows better than to listen to them?
And not to mention the books of the Apocrypha / deuterocanonical books. Because the uninspired books were added so that benefit the Catholics. Apocrypha means of dubious nature and canonical means deuteric-secondary canon. The original number of the books of the Bible is 65 + 5 = 70 books of Psalms because God works in book 7.
Try going to the dentist's mother dead in the cemetery for toothache relief instead of going to the dentist the next time life.
Edit: In response to Daver: a blind man who deliberately deceived the blind.
Mary was a created being and died like all other human beings. Who dwell in heaven and ignorants know if that is a totally different world. The Ark of the Covenant was a way to teach about God keeping his holy and pure purple. The Ark was followed by temples (Solomon, etc.)
In the NT, this means that we will keep Saints of God to dwell in us.
1 Corinthians 6:19 - What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Matthew 24:2 - And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? I tell you truly, should not be left here one stone upon another that will not be released.
The Ark contained the manna in the golden pitcher, Aaron's staff had Budd, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
We are in all these things if we want to keep your holy will. Bread of heaven, Jesus, then we have the fruits and commandments to follow. Catholics who have twisted the 10 commandments (read the original 10 commandments in Ex 20 and Deuteronomy 5 and the match produced the commandments of the church catechism RC).
The promises of the NT era for all mankind and not for a single woman.
God came to earth many times over in the Bible story in many ways. Come and worship the mountains, fire, mountain, Los Angeles, a white dove, wind, cloud of smoke and the pillar of fire? If you do not pray through these means, why only separated from Mary again is as good as any other created being? Eh … You would also Catholics across all stupid idols that churches in their configuration and therefore breaking the 2nd commandment again.
Do you suppose that God would be lost if Satan won and Mary said no? That would be God's plan powerlesss against the decision of a single being (again, that He created and trained). God knows best and I already had a plan. To harden their hearts as Pharaoh (again hardened his heart to God too). God touched the heart of Mary to say yes. The glory is not so. Because you know who is the glory, honor and praise (Or should I say?).
This is sufficient. You can have a personal conflict with me if you want to go further. And I'm sure it will be proved wrong. May God touch your heart also.

Melody Rose is exactly correct. Do not pray to Mary, we pray through Mary. By listening to Ave Maria as it ends:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
The step that is not cited in reference to Mary, but rather to call those who follow God and his word family - loved by Christ.

That there is no mention about prayer to Mary is not
When Catholics pray to Mary in the sky above are not Christ, whom he recognized as the only Mediator between God and man. Who go to Christ through Mary and other saints. They are asking Mary to intercede for them before the throne of Christ in heaven. “ For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.''(James 5:16). How much use is the unceasing prayer of the sinless Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ! St. Paul asked his fellow Christians to intercede for him: “ Brothers, pray for us.''(2 Thes. 3:1). And again: “ I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through love of the Holy Spirit to help me in your prayers to God for me …'' (Rom. 15 : 30). Christ must particularly approve of our going to Him through Mary, the Blessed Mother, because He chose to come to us through it. And at Cana, he performed his first miracle after a word from His Mother. (John 2:2-11).

I am not contradicting what you're saying because, well, I'm not a Catholic, but I hate the new international edition of the Bible, is so messy.

First you must set the sentence. Prayer is talking with someone who is not living. It is not to be confused with the cult. When we pray to Mary or any of the Saints for that matter, are asking to pray for us. God bless …

God also says not to pray to the saints and the dead, however, still continue to do so because the Pope is no god.

Wonderful question! I can not give you the correct answer, because I am not a Catholic.
