No doubt we should pray for others. It is our Christian duty. Jesus is the only worthy intercessor, however, because He is the only way we can approach a perfect and Holy God. I do like your point, though! Makes me want to pray all the more!
Mary states that she magnifies Christ, so whenever you pray and praise here, you are worshiping Christ as she in herself devotes her life to Him.
Virgin Mary’s famous “canticle” in Luke 1:46-55.
“And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy. As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever.” (Luke 1:46–55, D-R)
If you ignore Mary and or the other Saints, you are missing out on a lot that Christ has taught through them. Find a Saint you want to imitate, there are thousands of men and women that have dedicated their life to Christ.
Jesus intercedes with God for us when we pray, no need to pray to anyone else.
