"Mary's favorite prayer" is generally considered by many Christians, particularly Catholics, to be the Magnificat (also known as the Canticle of Mary). This is the prayer that Mary herself utters in the Gospel of Luke when she visits her cousin Elizabeth.
O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
5 Fatima Prayers Given By Mary And The Angel
The Memorare Prayer
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Jesus never told us to pray to Mary. Jesus is the great intercessor and we prayed to him as the great intercessor to reach God. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to pray to Mary. If it's not in the Bible, we should not believe it.
There's a lot of reasons, but in a nutshell, Catholics pray to Mary to honor her, seek her powerful intercession, all while helping them grow closer to Christ.

Five Powerful Marian Prayers
Prayer of Consecration to Jesus through Mary – Mother Seton Catholic Church. I, ______________________, a repentant sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism. I renounce Satan and resolve to follow Jesus Christ even more closely than before. Mary, I give you my heart.
Frankly, no. Nothing like that is stated or implied in Scripture, so James might try another approach. For example, he might say, “Mary doesn't know anyone is praying to her because she's not omniscient, and so there is no way for her to know that people are praying to her.”
I beg You to obtain for me pardon for my sins and a heart overflowing with love for Jesus. My dearest Mother, I promise to come to You every day, at this hour and in this place, to implore Your intercession for a miracle in my life. I humbly bring before You this petition (mention your petition).
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners. Lord Jesus, have mercy!
Catholics are encouraged to pray the Rosary both individually and with others—families, parish groups, or prayer circles. How often? That depends on what draws you closer to Christ. Some pray it daily, others weekly.
As I just wrote, prayer is simply talking to God. It's talking to JESUS or our HEAVENLY FATHER. But it's also a conversation. And if it's a conversation, then it means listening to God as well as talking to Him.
Dear Lord, This morning as I contemplate a new day, I ask you to help me. I want to be aware of your spirit—leading me in the decisions I take, the conversations I have, and the work I do. I want to be more like you, Jesus, as I relate to the people I meet today—friends or strangers.
A prayer line allows churches to give congregation members the ability to call in to a local number or toll-free hotline in order to submit a prayer request or to hear weekly announcements.
Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (Say 3 times).
One God in Three Persons
Absolutely. Is it OK to pray specifically to Jesus or even to the Holy Spirit? Absolutely.
Catholics pray to Mary because she is a model of faith. Her “yes” at the Annunciation (Luke 1:38), embracing God's will despite uncertainty, is a powerful example of trust. Catholics seek to imitate her unwavering faith and obedience, praying for the grace to follow her example of surrender to God.
Thus, veneration of Mary is a special and essential part of a Catholics' faith. Certainly Joseph has a special role being part of the holy family, but the truth revealed to us by his role is on par with the many other saints we have, and thus our duty to venerate him is not as essential as our duty to venerate Mary.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, He said, involve: (1) Those who deny the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Mother (2) Those who deny Our Lady's virginity (3) Those who deny Our Lady's Divine Maternity and role as Mother of all of Mankind (4) Those who cause children to have indifference, contempt, or ...
