[J24266]

Mary is merely venerated, honored as close to God, just as the saints are. We do NOT pray TO her. Rather, we pray THROUGH her. We ask her to pray for us. We pray to God directly, but it is comforting to have an advocate who has gone before you. Just as you might have a lawyer appeal to the courts for you, Catholics ask that the saints appeal to God for us. If you are not familiar with Church teaching, it is difficult to understand, but please note that we hold no one above God or equal to Him. The Triune God is the only one we prescribe to.
