Because all of Mary’s virtue comes from a full embodiment of her humanity which is a gift from God.
Regardless of what translation of Luke 1:28 one chooses... whether one sees her as ‘highly favored’ or ‘made graceful’ her yes to God embraces her humanity and her creation in the image and likeness of God.
That is why she is venerated... Catholic’s love for Mary is rooted in the fact that she is the Mother of Jesus and she embraced her role to do the Father’s will.
In so doing... she embraced acting in the image and likeness of God in a greater way than anyone who is not part of the Trinity.
And yet Jesus says that among those born of women, there is none greater than John the Baptist.
Lots of people embrace their role to do God’s will. However, that specific one is taken, but that doesn’t mean that anyone else’s is less honorable.
It’s not the job we have to do that is important, but HOW we do it. Our obedience in doing what is our lot is what’s important to God, not the particular job God has for us to do.
It’s HIS determination who does what. It’s ours how we do it.
Oh?
In WHAT way?
