If it literally means dedicating oneself "entirely" to Mary without limit and without acknowledgment that Mary is a handmaid of the Lord Whom we both serve, this would, on the face of it, be "totalizing" or "divinizing" Mary

Consecration to Mary [a href=http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=441> Catholic Online.]

My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.

Using your definition we see catholics do indeed do what they claim not do.

Change My Queen and my mother to Satan.

Now do you understand the impact of a "prayer" devotion to Mary??

Catholics think it's ok because Mary's name is in this "devotion".

However, swap out her name for any other name and catholics would be howling heresy. Imagine the outcry if Luther's name was in this "devotion".
