If youāre concerned, St. Louis De Montfort specifically in his āconsecration to Maryā makes it clear that any consecration to Mary, because she is so perfectly aligned in body and soul to Jesus, is a consecration TO Jesus THROUGH Mary. I am sure I canāt express so well as he did, but what struck me was the perfect symbolism between Jesus coming to us through Mary, and us coming to Jesus through Mary.
In a sense, Jesus never stopped coming to us through Mary. Itās not like His birth was a one-and-done thing and never to be thought of again once He was here. He chose of all possible ways to be conceived and gestate 9 months in Maryās womb, to then be born to all of us (including all who had been born before Him and all who come after) for a reason. And since He does not change we should really wonder at how we see the woman said would be called āever blessedā, whose soul sanctifies her Lordā is seen by us.
In a way I think there is both a human āprideā and a human āfalse prideā in the way people hasten to downgrade Mary. We are so full of pride in humanity that we cannot stand to see some other human āraised above usā when we āperceiveā how she was exalted for āno real reasonā; many people sneer that Mary never really āDIDā anything and rush to applaud other people who were braved, more āholyā, etc. etc. And we have a false pride too that wants to, at the same time we feel that āweā are somehow better than some āignorant peasant girlā who never showed any REAL greatnessā, where we blather about how no HUMAN can ever be as good as God (which is true, but we arenāt saying it to glorify God but instead to sneer at Mary), where we indignantly claim how no mere HUMAN is ever āgoodā but at the same time, inside weāre all judgmental and even if our LIPS are saying āhumbleā, we think OURSELVES by our finding fault with Mary to be showing REAL HUMILITY. We think that if everybody else is unworthy, weāre showing by our loud denial of any āgoodā in people that actually WE are pretty wonderful. Dang near perfect.
