In Luke 8 and 11 Jesus gives us reasons to venerate anyone: for their listening to Him and keeping His commandments.

Honoring is a necessary component of veneration.

[DungeonMaster]

Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck. But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it. (Luke 11:27f)

So you are saying that this says to venerate Mary or to venerate everyone that hears and keeps the Word of God? The text indicates that the latter is greater but you must be saying that anyone that is "blessed" is to be venerated. Is that the case?
