Ok, I think BVM refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Yes, she was blessed because she was chosen to bring forth our Savior. However, we are never taught to worship her or that she can intercede for us. The Bible says there is only ONE mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus Christ.

If you’ll read the Scriptures, you will find Mary worshiping Jesus - not even the apostles would allow others to worship them - even though some tried. Mary was chosen for a very special purpose in life, as each of us is. Yes, Christ was born of a virgin, but you do realize that she had other children after marrying Joseph? She was a virgin because she never had sex with a man until after marriage.

We will have to agree to disagree. I feel confident in the beliefs expressed in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed. My faith in the Church founded by Jesus Christ and the authority he gave to Peter and his successors is unshakeable. Have a nice day.
