We don't discount her or reject her. God says "she is highly favored before all women" but we don't praise her and bow down to her. "Every knee will bow and confess Jesus is LORD"
She is well respected.

So Mary was not only blessed because she gave birth to Jesus but because she heard and kept the word of God. Doubly blessed

[jaqian]

All generations shall call her blessed

God is eternal, He gave life for Mary, she is His servant.

Mary literally bore Jesus for 9 months in her womb. God was literally inside her. What the universe couldn't contain her womb contained easily. She breastfed him taught him his prayers and delivered him to his adulthood until he started his ministry. She was always with him even at the foot of the cross when almost everyone abandoned him, but she wouldn't because she's his mother, and a mother never let go of her child, her God child.

Ave Maria
Viva Cristo Rey

Mother Mary I Love you. Thank you for bringing me so close to your Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN

In Luke 1:48 when Mary says "For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed." She didn't say all generations will brush me aside as "one of the many" or they will downplay my role in the birth of the Christ. Thank you so much for explaining that passage. That is one of the number one verses people bring up in anti-Marion arguments. I have something new for my arsenal. ❤🙏✝️🕊

But Jesus said, in Mathew 12:47-50, Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

I don’t understand Protestants who claim to love Jesus but also say the “Whore of Babylon” in Revelation is our blessed Mother Mary and claim we are worshipping a false God when we Catholics call her Mother of God

[TURNKEYiNK]

Mary said to the servants: do what ever He (Jesus) tells you; and Jesus tells us (among many things) to pray ONLY to the FATHER in his name.

[brandonlamb]

Mama Mary please pray for us to the Lord our God Jesus Christ Amen ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Coming from a Protestant background and now joining the Eastern Orthodox Church I was very uncomfortable with this attitude towards reverence of Mary. I skipped over the evening and morning prayers pertaining to Mary in sections of morning prayers and the small compline. One evening I felt compelled to not skip them. As some early church fathers and Saints write that tears in prayer are a gift from God, inexplicably did I begin to weep through these prayers in reverence and repentance. It truly is sorrowful the neglect of reverence for the Theotokos within Protestantism.

Evangelicals respect and honor Mary for her role to bring Christ into the world for our Salvation. The Titles are cautioned because it can cause some to believe She is before God or placed in idol role.❤
