There are recorded instances of people, like Elizabeth, Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Simeon, all associated with the birth of Jesus, who were said to have been filled with the Holy Spirit, and not ONCE is that ever recorded of Mary in the Bible.

"And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [...] Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." - Luke 1:28,41-42

Nor of many other unquestionably holy Biblical figures. What's your point? The Holy Ghost proclaimed through Elizabeth that Mary was blessed - as did the Father's angelic messenger; of how many other people is that recorded?
