The way it’s written:
Galatians 4:4-5
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

You’re skimping! Let me add to that list from the titles lovingly ascribed by the Christ-faithful Byzantine Greek Catholic Church:
Bebaia Elpis (the Certain Hope)
Boetheia (the Helper)
Brephokratousa (the Infant-Holder)
Chrysopege (the Fountain of Gold)
Deomene (the Supplicant)
Eleousa (the Merciful)
Eleutherotria (the Liberator)
Evangelistria (the Bearer of Good News)
Galatiane or Galatousa (the Nursing Mother)
Giatrissa (the Healer)
Glykophilousa (of the Sweet Kiss)
Gorgoepekoos (the Quick-To-Listen)
Gregorousa (the Vigilant)
Hagia Skepe (the Sacred Protection)
Hodegetria (the Leader)
Hypermachos Strategos (the Defending General)
Kataphyge (the Safe Haven)
Megalochare (Of Great Grace)
Myrobletissa (the Spring of Myrrh)
Myrtiotissa (of the Myrtles)
Pantanassa (the Queen of All)
Paraportiane or Portaitissa (by the Gate)
Paregoretria (the Giver of Solace)
Phaneromene (the Revealed)
Pharmakolytria (the Deliverer from poison)
Platytera ton Ouranon (the Wider than the Heavens)
Ponolytria (the Deliverer from pain)
Thalassine (of the Sea)
Why does she have all these titles? Because she is great?
No, because she is lowly,and He who is Mighty has done great things for her. Because she is the Mother of the True and Rightful King -— the *King* to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth. And -—pay attention here, because this is the key -— because she refers everything to God.
And this is not only to show us who God is -— He is the giver of all these good things -— but also to show us who WE are, we who are part of Lady Ecclesia, — and Mary is an image of this -— the Chosen Lady who represents the Chosen Lady.
So all this applies to you, too, if you are a member of His Blessed Ekklesia.
But as it is written,
Eye has not seem nor ear heard,
nor has it entered into the mind
of man to imagine,
what God has prepared
for those who love him.
All this applies to you, too, if you are one of her children (Rev. 12:17)
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Gate of Heaven
This one invalidates all of the other titles given to the mother of Jesus...
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
.Joh 10:9 I am the door (gate): by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
The mother of Jesus, Mary, is not the gate to anywhere that has anything to do with Jesus...
Gorgoepekoos (the Quick-To-Listen)
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
1Co 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Eleousa (the Merciful)
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Catholics tell us it is Mary who sits on the throne of grace...
Eph 2:18 For through Mary him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
It's crazy that there are Catholics who teach this stuff...It's crazier that there are people who believe it...
