[Mrs. Don-o]

"Blessed" has a considerable semantic range.

For one thing, it's a condition described in Jesus in the Beatitudes: "Blessed" are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for justice, the peacemakers, etc. It means God will vindicate them, make them fortunate or happy, they will receive God's favor. Opposite, "Woe to," the people who have bad stuff coming.

It's also a general adjective meaning good in the eyes of God. A blessed event, blessed assurance, blessed hope, a blessed relief from pain, the blessed departed, their blessed memory.

It's also an honorific title for good people who are thought to be in heaven but have not been canonized, like "Blessed Junipero Serra". It's also applied to God: Blessed Trinity, Blessed Savior, the Blessed Sacrament.

So the range can go from something simply good and fortunate, (a blessed break in the summer's heat) all the way up to the Infinite Godhead. Context will rule the meaning in every instance.

And there's no reason not to call Mary Bessed.

And there's no reason not to call Mary Bessed.

I think there is a GOOD reason not to call her that: she won't ANSWER!

And there's no reason not to call Mary Bessed.

And in none of your examples did "blessed are you among women" translate to co mediator, co redeemer, immaculately conceived, ever virgin, dispenser of all graces, queen of heaven, yadda yadda yadda. That is my point though your point that blessed has many uses is true.
