Mary

"I wish they would not call me that." It's just an expression of endearment." I said, but after her words fell into my meditation I thought about it a lot. Devotees are affronted, when she is just named Mary. I mean we were all virgins at one time. being the very expression of God, we also had mothers. If you really want to adore Mary then tell her she is a beautiful lady, most virtuous and motherly. Don't try to seduce her with flattery, as if being called a virgin for all time was some kind of highfaluting compliment! Let her into you, make her comfortable, let her be a woman.
