BTW, we are NOT worshipping; but merely hyperduliaing!

hyperdulia

noun

1. The worship offered by Roman Catholics to the Virgin Mary: so called because it is higher than that given to other saints, which is known as dulia, while the worship due to God alone is called latria. See dulia. Also hyper-duly.
2. Veneration or worship given to the Virgin Mary as the most exalted of mere creatures; higher veneration than dulia.
3. A level of veneration higher than dulia but less than latria, properly given to the Virgin Mary.
