When can I find out more about Mary so I can see the example she is in humility and obedience? I have read her mother sent her to the temple. And about Joseph’s rod that budded. But that’s really all I know.

You may find some gems in Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich’s visions of the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

A more theological examination of Mary’s obedience is found in St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

And here is the Protoevangelium of James (c. 150), which, though apocryphal, seems to contain much that is true and part of authentic Church tradition. You’ll find the story of the rod and other parts of Mary’s childhood here. Her parents, St. Anne and St. Joachim, are honored as saints by the Church.

Oh my gosh! How about the fact that a 13 year old girl who could have been stoned to death for adultery said “yes” that she would in deed be the mother of her, our Savior? And thats just for starters. What about the fact that upon hearing that her cousin Elizabeth was with child she traveled a great distance to comfort and share her joy? How about the fact that Christ “grew in His understanding” partly from the love and teaching His mother provided? Aside from all that, Jesus Christ, told John, the Apostle whom he loved, “behold your mother”, and to Mary, "woman, behold your son. Even if Christ, had actual brothers and sisters, he must have considered his mother worthy of special consideration of the Savior of the World for Jesus to have ensured her care by John, his beloved Apostle.

Lets not go down the Road of Our Lord having brothers and sisters, there is no record of this, everyone in the Jewish Religion is regarded as your brother and sister in the Lord. This nonsense is a new idea .

“When reciting the Rosary, the important and meaningful moments of salvation history are relived. The various steps of Christ’s mission are traced. With Mary the heart is oriented toward the mystery of Jesus. Christ is put at the center of our life, of our time, of our city, through the contemplation and meditation of his holy mysteries of joy, light, sorrow and glory.” Pope Benedict XVI
“Would you like me to tell you a ‘secret’? It is simple, and after all, is no secret: ‘Pray, pray much. Say the Rosary everyday.’” -Pope John Paul II
“Spread the Rosary, the prayer so dear to the Virgin and so esteemed by popes; by it the faithful can best fulfill the command of Christ: ’ Ask and it shall be given; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.’ (Mt. 7:7). The Rosary puts all who have trust in it into communication with Our Lady.” -Pope Paul VI
“The Rosary, as is known to all, is in fact a very excellent means of prayer and meditation in the form of a mystical crown in which the prayers Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father are intertwined with meditation on the greatest mysteries of our Faith and which presents to the mind, like many pictures, the drama of the Incarnation of our Lord and the Redemption.” -Pope John XXIII
“If you recite the Family Rosary, all united, you shall taste peace; you shall have in your homes concord of souls. Hearing the Christian home resound with the praised of the Queen of Heaven (is) a simple fact in appearance, but extraordinarily received by God, such as to enrapture the Angels, which from Heaven see and hear! The Rosary recited in common gathers the parents with their children, piously joins them with those absent, with the deceased, draws all there, close to the Virgin, who, as Mother, will be in the midst of her children. We esteem the Rosary to be the most suitable and efficacious means to obtain the help of God. The flowers of the Rosary never perish.” -Pope Pius XII
“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin… It not only serves admirably to overcome the enemies of God and of religion, but it is also a stimulus and an encouragement to the practice of the evangelical virtues, which it develops and cultivates in our souls. Above all, it nourishes our Catholic Faith…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.” -Pope Pius XI
“The Rosary elevates minds to the truths reveled by God and shows us Heaven opened. The Virgin Mary Herself has insistently recommended this manner of praying. All Graces are conceded to us by God through the hands of Mary.” - Pope Pius XI
“Nevertheless, if men in our century, with its derisive pride, reject the holy Rosary, there is an innumerable multitude of holy men of every age and every condition who have always held it dear. They have recited it with great devotion, and in every moment they have used it as a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight, to preserve the integrity of life, to acquire virtue more easily, and, in a word, to attain real peace among men.” -Pope Pius XI
“From it (the Rosary) the young will draw fresh energy with which to control the rebellious tendencies to evil and to preserve intact the stainless purity of the soul. Also in it, the old will again find repose, relief , and peace from their anxious cares. And to all those who suffer in any way, especially the dying, may it bring comfort and increase the hope of eternal Happiness.” -Pope Pius XI
“The prayer of the Rosary is perfect because of the praises it offers, the lessons it teaches, the graces it obtains, and the victories it achieves.” - Pope Benedict XV
“St. Dominic knew well that, while on the one hand Mary is all powerful with Her divine Son, who grants all graces to mankind through Her, on the other hand, She is by nature so good and so merciful that, inclined to aid spontaneously those who suffer, She is absolutely incapable of refusing Her help to those who invoke Her. The Church is in the habit of greeting the Virgin as ‘Mother of Grace’ and ‘Mother of Mercy,’ and so She has always shown Herself, especially when we have recourse to Her by means of the Holy Rosary.” -Pope Benedict XV
" The Rosary is the most beautiful and the richest of all prayers to the Mediatrix of all grace; it is the prayer that touches most the heart of the Mother of God. Say it each day." -Pope St. Pius X
" The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying." -Pope Leo XIII
“Among all the devotions approved by the Church, none has been so favored by so many miracles as the Rosary devotion.” - Pope Pius IX
“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” -Pope Pius IX

I recently checked Dr. Scott Hahn’s book Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God out of my local library so I can learn more about Mary. I literally just began reading the book this morning, so I can’t say if you’ll find the answers you’re looking for there, but I expect to learn much from my reading.
I’ll also be checking out the links other posters have kindly shared. Bless you, all!
