How can I draw the attention of Mother Mary? I feel like because I’m not baptized she won’t pray/intercede for me and won’t accept me as one of her children. I pray the rosary daily and I’m really devoted to her but I feel like she isn’t hearing or won’t hear me. Please pray that she accepts me as one of her children because this is so devastating to me I feel so abandoned cause I don’t know what I’d do without her in my life I don’t want to live my life without her
There’s a Catholic prayer called the Memorare; it says that anyone who seeks Mary’s protection or help is never disappointed. I think that Mary is always ready to accept anyone who wants to be her child.
You could undertake a Novena.
I do the perpetual marian novena, and I did maybe 10 other novenas to her invoking her different names
While I understand that his theology is off, where concerning one of the reasons behind the Consecration, and which you may know but am reluctant to explain in public, the St. Louis De Montfort’s ‘Consecration to the Blessed Virgin’ is quite to the point.
There is this wildlife scene where an elephant keeps pushing the calf back down the hill. It looks that way, at least. I have applied the scene to myself, at times. Maybe it is that God wants more of your time than just a prayer or even Novena. And wants to see you try extra super-hard. In my own case, I apply the scene to my circumstances because I just never try hard enough or go about that which could even get classed as ‘trying’ at all yet with yourself it may be because even though you are trying a lot (by the sounds of it), God wishes for a ‘more than’: a total self-giving.
We can also place obstructions in our own way. A rhetorical question, is there an idol, an area of your life, that could be considered as a ‘pigeon-holing’ of God. A sermon by a priest online consisted of that term and it can happen when we become complacent, on some level.
Novenas are fine, but I think that a simple request in prayer is all you need. Something like “Mother Mary, I want you to be my mother. Please hold me in your heart and let me be your child.” I am sure that the answer will be yes.

You already have her attention and she wants for you to know her Son, Jesus.
Like the thief on the Cross, recognize Him as our Savior and Pray for a desire to be Baptized.
Trust in Him and continue to Pray with Jesus and Mary. They love you very much and do not forsake you. And though you are not officially a member of the body, we see you as a part of our Family : )
I am reminded of Venerable Augustus Tolton who desired so badly to become a Catholic Christian Priest and could have given up so many times after being prevented from entering Seminary, but he remained faithful to Jesus and Mary and through patience, the day came when he was allowed to be a Priest. Do not lose hope and remain faithful.
Venerable Augustus Tolton, Pray for us and Pray specifically for SisterNightinGale as she longs to receive Holy Baptism. May our Lord grant her the grace, patience and the peace to trust in Him as she waits. And may Mary take her under her loving care as SisterNightinGale draws closer to Jesus, Mary’s Son.
