Moses had to be cajoled into his mission, and his reticence almost made God kill him. The same with Jonah. And Peter was identified with Satan, such was the departure that he chose to take.
The prime point made by Catholics is that Mary's consent was supremely pivotal and was the "first cause," the indispensable act of will that made everything else possible.
Mary consented because it was God who reveal His will as concerning her.

Mary consented because it was God who reveal His will as concerning her. And what young Jewish virgin would turn down being mother of the Messiah? It was the dream of every Jewish girl. She wouldn't have been crazy enough to turn that opportunity down.
So much for venerating her for doing what anyone else in a similar situation would have done.
