You pray to her. How is that different from worshiping?
From a
Catholic website:
Quote:
Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ...
Holy Mary,
help those in need,
give strength to the weak,
comfort the sorrowful,
pray for God's people,
assist the clergy,
intercede for religious...

These are just the top two prayers from a very long list.
Here is a picture of a bunch of heathens praying to Mary (it's the big statue on the altar; the cross is kinda small and hard to spot on this picture).
