Is prayer to saints or Mary biblical? | GotQuestions.org

While many Roman Catholics pray to Mary, calling her a "most gracious advocate" and "our life, our sweetness, and our hope," we must ask what the Bible teaches. The Catholic Catechism even states "we can pray with and to her." But if the Bible says there is "one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus," how can this be? With Jesus and the Holy Spirit already interceding for us, and Scripture giving us direct access to "approach the throne of grace with confidence," you need to see why the practice of petitioning the dead or asking saints for their prayers has no biblical basis whatsoever.
