I personally do not feel I am "flaming" anyone if I explain why I cannot pray as requested, but will pray as I think is Scriptural.
I cannot pray to Mary as nothing in Scriptures tell us to do that and as she is not Deity, only was a mere mortal like you and me, who called our Savior, her Savior. (She needed a Savior as we all do.) However I will pray to the Heavenly Father for mercy for those people.
The scripture your so fan of has it's outspring in the Sacred Tradition as it got canonized at the Holy Synod of Hippo in 393.
What makes the Bible Holy is the fact that the church herself including her concils and Synods are being led by and protected by The Holy Spirit.
The intention of the church behind the canonisation of the Bible was to get ONE valid canon that all Christians (it was One Church at the time) Should read and to have 1 collection of books that where a guidance to faith for Christians.
At the time leading up to the Synod of Hippo there where multiple different books Christians read and believed in and some of those books where false and even worse, they where outright heretical.
Because of this it was very important to decide which books we should read and give authority and whom we shouldn't.
This is the reason as for why the church started the canonisation work.
As the church herself always have believed the Holy Spirit was present at the canonisation prosses as well as he is present in the church everyday.
It's because of this that we refer to Scripture as Holy.
Due to the will of the Holy Spirit who where and is present in Christ's church.
You have to remember that the early Christians (until Hippo 393) hadn't any Scripture to read and refer to, but even so they believed and did fine because they had the Sacred Tradition.
The Sacred Tradition is the customs and spiritual life inherited from the Apostles that is not written in the Bible.
The reason as for why it's not written is many, one of them is that they didn't see the need for it as they saw it as so natural that they couldn't imagine that later generations could question it.
And as I said in many ways the Holy Bible is just a part of the larger Tradition and to use it as the only truth and only tool for faith is unfair to Scripture itself aswell as it doesn't hold ground very long.
What about the contradictions in Scripture if you cannot listen to the authority of the church who canonized the Bible?
The Tradition is the key to understand Scripture and without it as a tool Scripture seems ful of contradictions and errors.
There ARE contradictions I'm Scripture just face it, the 73 books in the Canon where written individually and by different authors with centuries apart.
Of course one book may contradict another as the writers didn't even know that their book would later be placed as a part of an book.
Again without The Church it is a mess and I'm sorry for you guys, you have to face a lot of hard challenges for both your intellectuals as well as your faith when everything you do and don't must be defined in Scripture.
As for prayers to Mama Mary and the Saints this isn't written in the bible because the early Christians saw this as a natural custom as they always have done so.
The Tradition is rich on Mariology and veneration of Mother Mary and the Saints.
So praying to the saints or any other tradition shouldn't ever be judged based on the Scripture as it is two part of one truth.
Also it's worth mentioning that until Gutenberg it wasn't common to own a bible.
Most families couldn't afford buying one because handwritten bibles where so expensive.
Without access to scripture don't you consider them to be good faithful Christians?
Without The Bible what preserved them in the faith if it wasn't Tradition?
Furthermore, Mary was a creation made by the Father, but two of us are nothing like her.
Her place is unique, Before God created the world he chose Mary to be a central part of our redemption.
She where sinless, because God had freed her from her sinfulness and disobedience before she got borned.
Her place in the salvation plane is/ was vital so no, She is supreme in comparison with you and me.
But with her guidance, presence and mercy we may grow in sainthood and maybe one day through her intercession and Christ's power we will become as humble and pure as she is.
While she was/ is just a human, but without sin she is the most perfect human ever created.
