Sigh. Luke 1:48 - Greek word for blessed = μακαρίζω (makarizō 3106) James 5:11 - Greek word translated happy = μακαρίζω (makarizō 3106). Again from my Greek word study makarizo means:
1. blessed (call)to call happy.
2. happy (count)to call happy, congratulate (this specific meaning occurs only in Luk 1:48).
No where does makarizo ever mean exalted, or greater in stature, as you catholics interpret 'blessed' in this passage. Keep laughing, you obviously don't know Greek, just how to twist the original language apparently in order to support a false doctrine and false worship of Mary. And then you mock those who DO know the text. However:
Blessed in Luke 1:28 is a different word. In this case its: χαριτόω (charitoō 5487) which means:
1. accepted to make lovely or acceptable.
Reference: Eph 1:6
2. favoured (highly)to make χάρις (charis 5485) (in the subjective sense) to grace, that is to say in passive as here, to be gracious or favoured (this specific meaning occurs only in Eph 1:6).
3. graced [marginal] (much)
So even when it does have the idea of 'favored one', or in this case 'special honor' it still don't mean greater in stature or exalted into some mythical 'union with Christ' or as a co-Savior or 'Queen of all things' as you Catholics describe in your catechism. I should be laughing at you, but note that I'm not, nor have I mocked you for this insane and blasphemous belief. I'm trying to get you to see the truth here from Scripture.
But I'll make you happy!
