I appreciate your prayer for this cause but I have to ask you, do Catholics pray through Mary to the Father?

[RobbyS]

We also pray through the members of our parish. The poet Tennyson once described her as “our tainted nature’s solitary boast.” Meaning, that she alone of every human being ever accepted God’s grace in its entirety.

[A.A. Cunningham]

The Word incarnate was made manifest through the Blessed Mother due to her unique role in the salvation of mankind. As a member of the communion of saints, communio sanctorum, we all; the Church Miltant, the Church Suffering and the Church Triumphant, act as intercessors for one another and the Blessed Mother is no exception. Have you ever asked a living person to pray for you? Have you ever prayed for a living person? If the answer is yes, then you were acting as an intercessor for another.

The Blessed Mother by virtue of the grace granted to her as the Mother of God incarnate and as the spiritual Mother of all believers in Christ is the greatest intercessor any of us could ever have. She was the only person present at His conception, birth and death and spent more time with Him than any other human being. Ask yourself the question where would the wedding party at Cana have been without the intercession of the Blessed Mother? By following her counsel "Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye." we get closer to Christ. Per Matrem ad Filium

"For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ." 1 Corinthians 12:12

"I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:" 1 Timothy 2:1

through Mary to Jesus.

Now I know all about it, butit was explained to me that just like if you love a person, you want to know all about everyone around them too, you don’t say, I only love you and couldn’t care less about your mom, dad, brothers or friends.
