All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Only the Saviour was, and is, perfect.
Though blessed among women, I would not pray to her. She did not die for my sin, and Scripture gives no instruction to worship the earthly being that was chosen to bring forth the Son of God.
If there is such Scripture, I would truly like to know about it.
Luke 1:28
Catholics do not pray to Mary. The Hail Mary prayer comes from the Gospel of Luke. We merely ask her to pray for us, something we ask of all the saints. Do Christians ask other Christians to pray for them? Certainly.
Furthermore, the prayers of the rosary are a contemplation on the life of Christ and His sufferings for us.
“Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death”
