Regarding the practice of asking Mary to pray for us ... I’ve never talked to a dead person. Not sure there’s much value in doing so.

Mary was a special woman, a chosen vessel through whom the Messiah would come. But she’s dead, unable to hear all the prayers sent her way.

Instead, let’s pray directly to the Lord, and invite our (living) friends to join us.

She's not dead.

So what radio stations do they they get in heaven?

Scripture says that Jesus has destroyed death.

Jesus himself said that those who believe in him shall never die.

I'm sorry you don't believe him.
