[Diego1618]

But to go the other extreme and say that she does not deserve *any* higher praise than, say St. Peter, is nonsense

Luke 11:27-28, As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

If the Lord thought we should pay his mother any special consideration this would have been a good time to let us know.

Luke 11:27-28, As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."


"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it!"

right! describes Mary to a tee!
