Luke 11:27 tells us that all the saints should be venerated, not just Mary, and not for her physical nurturing of Christ alone. Anything I missed here?

Luke 11:27 tells us "And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked."

Where do you get that all saints should be venerated with this passage?

From the verse that follows next:

Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it

While Mary heard the word of God and physically bore Him, other saints hear and keep the Word by obeying the Gospel and blessed are they (Matthew 5-7).
