re mary s assumption when elizabeth greeted mary elizabeth said something to the effect that mary out of all women was blessed if so it appears that this exactly places mary beyond the sanctification of normal humanity i remember a couple of times when my ex girlfriend said that she thought she was blessed because of her son whom she loved dearly in fact i ve heard people refer to someone as being blessed quite a few times it s a common figure of speech considering that elizabeth was just another human i think this passage offers nothing towards justifying the blessedness of mary
