Mary is NOT the mother of God.  She was the mother of Christ's flesh.  John chapter 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  Jump down to verse 14: "...and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us."  Jesus is eternal divinity, while Mary was of man.  Calling Mary the "Mother of God" is idolatry.  Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."  There is not one shred of Scriptural evidence to support going to Mary in order to get special favors from Jesus.  Mary died and is NOT omnipresent.  To pray to her is idolatry.  Acts 4:12: "There is ONE mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus."  Consider this: going to Mary INTERRUPTS access to Christ.
