we also are divine vessels carrying God around Although very crudely stated, it is not incorrect at its core. Compare Luke 11:28. We venerate saints because we can become saints. We venerate Mary because we can become custodians of the Word in our walk of faith.

It is very incorrect at its core. That's the trouble with it. As humans, we are not divine. Paul calls what we are, quickened. Man venerates so-called saints for it is a thing that seems good to him, it is not a revelation from God. In fact, it's quite ridiculous, for even the angels cautioned the prophets not to venerate them, for they are the same as us in that regard.
