I think you’re right twice. But I also think Mary doesn’t “need” to be a “presbyter” type hierarchical priest because, by God’s grace, she has achieved (this is just my thought, I didnt’ get it vetted) as perfect priesthood of life as a human can have unless that humanis Jesus. She offered him forthe world, and while the usual Mass lasts maybe an hour, just the ramp-up for the offering she made was 9 months.

I think we’re all called to be what you might name “priests of the heart”, but only some of us need to be that guy wearing a dress in the front of the room. I’m not minimizing or dissing what “presbyters” do, I’m just saying that all of us are called to share in the prophetic, priestly, and royal call of Jesus, after our fashion.

And yeah, I think She’d say, “Here is My Son and Lord! Let us side by side kneel to Him!”

And I would just melt into a puddle, a very happy puddle.

I would agree. In fact, scripture calls us (all believers) a nation of kings and priests.
