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?

It doesn't say that veneration of saints is greater than veneration of Mary. It says that Mary should be venerated but also that the saints should be venerated for similar reasons.
