@johnle231 , you are ignorant of what praying to someone means. Your knowledge of languages, including English, appears to be as poor as your understanding of Christianity.
When we pray 🙏 to Mary, we are only asking for her to pray 🙏 for us. Likewise, when you requested people to pray for you, you were PRAYING TO them and petitioning of them, by definition because you were beseeching them, you were entreating them, you were earnestly asking them, you were imploring them to pray for you.
I prithee, John, try to learn English and what true Christians/Catholics believe before criticising us.
Some of the definitions of praying involve asking, soliciting, and pleading with people for them to do something for us. In the case of praying to Mary, we always pray to Mary to PRAY FOR us.
Because of your lack of English knowledge, I will simplify this teaching for you by educating you that Christians/Catholics ask for Mary to PRAY 🙏 FOR us.
