Everything you think comes to you from Christ, would never have come to you at all had not Mary agreed.
A couple of points here. First, God told Mary through an angel that she would bear the Son of God. He did not ask her permission. Yes, she responded rightly. But do you really think she could have thwarted the redemptive plan of God? She says, "no thanks" and God says, "well, I tried. They will all just have to die in their sins". If you believe this, then your God is waaaay too small. Perhaps that is why you feel the need to supplement Him with Mary and the Saints? There are numerous examples in the lineage of Christ that His ancestors were faithful to the commands of God, by which they were positioned to be in Christ's lineage. Do they all get "hyperdulia"?
Second, the real power player in terms of whether Jesus is born to a husband and wife in the lineage of David was Joseph. He could have "put her away", but he obeyed God as well. Does he get "hyperdulia"? Why not?
