“the deep respect and veneration for some thing, place, or person regarded as having a sacred or exalted character.”
You say, "If God loved and revered Mary enough to allow her to bring His Son into the world"
Surely Catholics would not actually say God REVERED (venerated) Mary?
Would God have chosen someone unsuitable to be the mother of His Son? We know that Jesus revered His Mother, and Jesus, being the Second Person of the Trinity is part of God, so I'd assume that yes, God revered Mary as well. That doesn't mean that Mary is equal with God, but it does mean that we should revere her, above all other human beings, except for Jesus.
Well, consider this: Jesus is God, co-equal with the Father. (I think all Christians would defend that statement.)
And Jesus honored Mary. Because Mary was His mother,and the Commandments say "Honor thy father and thy mother."
He certainly didn't worship and adore her, because He is God she is human; a disciple; in her own words, a handmaid.
So: "revere" in the sense of "adore"? No. "Revere" in the sense of "honor"? Yes.
