Gee, that sounds a lot like what gets thrown at us all the time. We are idolators, we are evil, we are in essence the worst of the worst.
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry,
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
so by her fervent intercession we may be delivered from present evils and from everlasting death.
How do you think the above sentences sounds? The above sentences go beyond the simple acknowledgment that mary was used of God in a special way. Those sentences give her praise and glory, as if she were our savior, instead of Christ Jesus; that do
not belong to her, but to God.
God will not give His glory to another because it is immoral for someone to take credit for something he or she did not do. Most people understand that siphoning off the reputation of others or accepting accolades due to someone else is dishonest and dishonorable. For a human being to attempt to take credit for God’s actions is the height of hubris. Since God is the one from whom glory comes, He will not let stand the assertion that glory comes from mankind or from the idols of man or from nature

with
Isaiah 42:8
“I am the Lord; that is my name!
I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:10
Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.
Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.
Isaiah 44:6
“This is what the LORD says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.
Revelation 7:10
And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
There is nothing in Scripture that even hints there is a holy queen. Nor is there any Scripture that says she is our hope. Our salvation and hope is in Jesus Christ alone, WITHOUT mary.
Ephesians 3:12
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
