No, Paul was preaching about Christ, not the Blessed Mother.

The Blessed Mother said: "let it be with me according to thy word.". Our Lord said: "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!" Her motherhood is not the reason for her honor, it's her obedience to Christ that gives her a place of honor. If our Lord believed her to be blessed and worth to be His mother, and ours, as seen in the exchange at the foot of the cross, how can we fail to honor her?

Well then, lets talk about the word honor. Since when does the word honor mean to ascribe the ability to:

Hear prayers, provide special intercession as the Mother of the Son of God, that she is the Mother of God, that she is the mother of the church, that she is the Queen of Heaven, that she was immaculately conceived, that she was ever virgin, the dispenser of all grace, that she gave birth while keeping a hymen intact, or that she is our co-redeemer, that she appears to people with messages, that she makes statues bleed, that she performs miracles from heaven,
