Jesus rebuked those who would venerate Mary for the wrong reasons.
Mary heard the word of God and obeyed, that is why she is blessed and if we do the same we are blessed also.
It is what Catholics are constantly telling protestants about Mary, but their hearts are hardened, made of stone.
Mary is what she is because Jesus is who He is.
You are such an inspiration. Thanks for being online this morning, I appreciate your posts.
