But Jesus said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and observe it.” - Luke 11:27-28

Ummm...my translation says "...hear the Word of God and keep it."

Mary most definitely did that.

fulassw guard, keep under guard; keep, obey, follow; keep safe, protect, defend; midd. guard against, avoid; abstain from (food offered in sacrifice to idols); keep, obey (Mk 10.20)

***Mary most definitely did that.***

I agree, Mary was a godly woman. But that is not the point of the passage or Jesus wouldn't have used the strong contrastive word menoun (on the contrary).

No one can keep the word of God perfectly that is why we need to be covered with the righteousness of the only one that did...That my friend is why we need a Savior
