It's conjecture but you make an excellent point, one that the Eastern Church Fathers recognized decades ago. Look upon their icons of the Blessed Mother and what do you notice? In all of them, she is pointing to her Son.
"Do as He tells you!"
Everytime I reflect on the wedding at Cana I can’t help but focus on Mary’s last words there (as well as her last word’s in the bible) “do whatever He tells you”. It is as though she knew this were the last words we would have from her and she wants us to follow them for eternity.
Do whatever He tells you... sounds easy enough.
Awesome!
Simple, but not easy. Love your enemies, deny yourself and take up your cross daily, sell all you have and give to the poor ... not easy.
Easy enough to remember ... not always easy to actually do.
