No kidding? And the Blessed Mother is also superior to the angels.
That was was the reason Lucifer’s pride caused his fall.
It is my opinion that many folks confuse the metaphysical state of one's soul with its current or potential future position / rank within God's Kingdom.
Mary's current state IS that of an angel right now - just like all not currently in the flesh. She wasn't an angel, state-wise, when she was in the flesh. But that state itself does not make her 'better' than you or me in a rank/position sense.
However, she IS better than most in the sense that she earned a high rank via uncommon faith in this age and presumably in the first age.
Though it is a sin to worship her. Or any 'angel'.
If you are faithful and overcome, then you too will be superior to many angels. Including better than one archangel - Satan.
Book, chapter, and verses, please.

Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!
