Mary is quoted several times in the new testament.

Every man is a better Christian if he is familiar with the the portions of God’w Word that contain beautiful humble reverent loving Godly words from Mary, for her words are helpful to us so that we might better know and serve Christ.

One of the gospel events that my family and I meditate on regularly is the occasion of Jesus’ debut into public life at Cana, which is introduced and launched with a poignant sentence from Mary that all by itself would be the only gospel message one would ever need to know: “Do whatever He tells you.”

Mary points someone in need to her Son, whom she is certain will meet that need - all the needy person must is to listen and obey.

And the wine that flows when we follow Mary’s simple catechism of Jseus is the best possible and most unexpected grace we could ever receive.

Mary is our friend and companion as we journey toward Jesus. God deigned that Mary’s “Do whatever he tells” would be uttered as an intimate and permanently recorded element of Christ’s first miracle.

Amen!

If your sect rejects this gospel truth then your sect is an abomination and an offense to God.

Yes, and the quotes show she too had not yet learned nor understood who Jesus was.

For example:

Luke 2:48 And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."
