Are you sure that you're not a Catholic ? The way that you show so much respect to Blesed Virgin Mary is a hallmark of a Mackerel Snapper, !

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et en hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Holy Mary Mother of GOD pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. amen !

I'm a Continuing Anglican so I'm more of Trout Snapper. Hard to find, you need special lures, cagey, a fighter, and frequently unapproachable. :p

You do know that Luther had a deep Marian devotion right?
". . . she is rightly called not only the mother of the man, but also the Mother of God. . . . it is certain that Mary is the Mother of the real and true God." Martin Luther
Men have crowded all her glory into a single phrase, 'the Mother of God'. No one can say anything greater of her or to her, though he had as many tongues as there are leaves on the trees . . .(Martin Luther)
Christ . . . was the only Son of Mary, and the Virgin Mary bore no children besides Him . . . "brothers" really means "cousins" here, for Holy Writ and the Jews always call cousins brothers. (Sermons on John, chapters 1-4, 1537-39). Martin Luther
"It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of our Lord and still a virgin." Martin Luther, Martin Luther's Works, vol 11, pg 319
"....so that while the soul was being infused, she would at the same time be cleansed from original sin...............And thus, in the very moment in which she began to live, she was without all sin." Martin Luther, Martin Luther's Works, vol 4, pg 694
" There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in Heaven. How it happened we do not know." Martin Luther, Martin Luther's Works, vol 10, pg 268
"God has formed the soul and body of the Virgin Mary full of the Holy Spirit, so that she is without all sins, " Martin Luther, Martin Luther's Works, vol 52, pg 39
"Christ our Savior was the real and natural fruit of Mary's virginal womb. . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that." Martin Luther
[Mary is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Martin Luther
Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of us even though it was Christ alone who reposed on her knees . . . If he is ours, we ought to be in his situation; there where he is, we ought also to be and all that he has ought to be ours, and his mother is also our mother. Martin Luther
Whoever possesses a good (firm) faith, says the Hail Mary without danger! Martin Luther
Our prayer should include the Mother of God . . . What the Hail Mary says is that all glory should be given to God, using these words: "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus Christ. Amen!" You see that these words are not concerned with prayer but purely with giving praise and honor . . . Martin Luther
We can use the Hail Mary as a meditation in which we recite what grace God has given her. Second, we should add a wish that anyone may know and respect her . . . He who has no faith is advised to refrain from saying the Hail Mary. (Personal Prayer Book, 1522). Martin Luther
