It seems that when it comes to the work of the Father, Jesus Maria account what he said! Go ahead and read about yourself! The wedding party is just one example. Mary finally had to say: "Just do what He tells you to do" because Jesus would not do what she wanted to do.   Indeed, the elders of the church to breathe better when they are asked for their prayers, because the Bible says we are NOT to communicate with those who have gone before us! God said those who do such things are worthy of death penalty (stoning to death)! The Bible says that if you're sick, you are to ask the elders of the church to pray for you.

"When two or more are gathered in my name, I'll be there too."   I'm not trying to be abrasive, trying to answer the question. From a biblical perspective I have to see it this way: "I am the way and the light and truth. No one comes to the Father except through me ". There is no mention of Mary, nor, to the best of my knowledge, is never mentioned in Scripture as an intercessor before the throne of God.   I respect Mary for the way he carried out as a woman and as the mother of Jesus, but if I go to "address the throne" (prayer), I'll talk to the judge (Jesus Christ).   God bless you.
