Praying in Mortal Sin

Question:

Does Mary pray for us even in the state of mortal sin if we pray the Hail Mary prayer?

Answer:

Yes. God, Mary, and the saints hear our prayers even if we are in a state of mortal sin. And yes, Mary and the saints pray for us even when we are in mortal sin.

The object of prayer is to draw closer to God. Praying the rosary and having Mary intercede for us can have the effect of receiving the grace of a deeper conversion and aversion to sin.

Obviously, the Blessed Mother also would tell us to get to confession at our first reasonable opportunity.
