Despite prayer with/to Mary being common practice amongst some sects of Christianity, namely within the Roman Catholic tradition, there is no biblical basis for this act. The bible makes it abundantly clear that there is no other way to reach God the Father, except through the 2nd member of the Godhead, Jesus. Jesus declares this himself in John 14:6, saying “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” How then, can one come to the Father through Mary? Or any other saint?

This belief once again has no scriptural basis. 1 Timothy 2:5 says: “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” The bible makes it clear. There is only one mediator. Again, in Romans 8:34 we read: “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” Jesus Christ the Son of God, who died and rose again on the 3rd day, and ascended to be seated at the right hand of God the Father, HE is our intercessor, HE is our mediator, and we are not permitted to seek after any other. It is a blasphemous/heretical practice to enlist the help of any other person dead or alive; to assist in prayer to God the father, for there is only one mediator and intercessor, Jesus Christ. Therefore, a believer must never pray with or to Mary, or any other saint. (Read full response HERE)
