Bill explained it a lot better than I could have. But like I was telling a friend of mine this week when we were discussing the Pope and Catholicism, we don't worship Mary above Jesus or God. If you listen to a recitation of the "Hail Mary," note that we say, "Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death."
It's not much different than any of us asking for other members here to pray for us. But she's the ultimate Prayer Warrior!

"But she's the ultimate Prayer Warrior!..."
Or, the ultimate Jewish mother! "SO...You do all these wonderful things, but You can't take care of a little pisher in New Joisey? What kind of Messiah ARE You, as if I should live so long as to know?"
...Even one of the faithful doesn't have to leave his sense of humor at the door...
