Pardon my ignorance, but I would like to know,......?

Does it actually say anywhere in the bible that people should pray to Mary and the Saints?

I was always under the impression that praying is only meant for God.

Just verses from the bible please and thank you.

Update:

This is not to envoke arguements. It is a serious question.

    hello,

    jesus is the perfect intercessor,not man or saints.we all[christians]are called to be saints.this is verified throughout the whole new testemant.

    Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us* with groanings which cannot be uttered.

    Rom 8:27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit [is], because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

    Rom 8:34 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.

    Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

    matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

    Mat 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who [is] in the secret [place]; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.*

    Mat 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen [do]. For they think that they will be heard for their many words

    the lord only through jesus and the holyspirit,is able to hear and answer prayer.

    god bless!

    James 5: 16-18 The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful

    was Mary righteous ? .... God seemed to think so
