Was this an act of worship ?
John 10:38-42. Was this an act of worship on Marys part ?
Those of us that actually understand who it was that commanded demons, commanded sickness and commanded the elements would certainly say so.

Decades ago I was given the nickname "apostoli" by an older Greek lady at a takeaway, because I was her favourite "Paul" and the tag stuck. Too many people named "Paul" in this world! No other significance in the tag...

Re: Was this an act of worship ?
Those who listen to who Jesus said performed those miracles through him would disagree:
NRS John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
-CalConcise Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament by Frederick William Danker on J 1:1b; 20:28; 1 J 5:20b; Hb 1:8 -- in connection w. these four passages s. instruction by Jesus in 2 below” which is “—2 of humans who enjoy special status and esteem J 10:34, 35a.”
Bauer-Danker-Arndt-Gingrich, financed by the Lutheran Missouri Synod, eliminates many Trinitarian proofs: 1John 5:20 ;Isaiah 44:24;Romans 9:5;Rev 3:14;John 1:1;John 8:58;Titus 2:13;Col 1:15
Dan Wallace, Greek Grammar and the Personality of the Holy Spirit, page 125
Bulletin for Biblical Research 13.1 (2003):"It is not enough to say either that the Spirit is presented as personal or that he is sometimes not distinguished from God (as in Acts 5:3-4). What also must be done is (1) a clear demonstration that language about the Spirit’s personality cannot be due to figurative rhetoric or circumlocution of the divine name, and (2) that where he is viewed as personal he is also viewed as deity, yet, (3) in those same texts, is seen as distinct from both Father and Son."

When Christ said that, wasnt he putting himself in equal status of God ? Could you really imagine Moses or Abraham saying such a thing ? Do you think an angel ( another of Gods creatures ) would make that claim ?
Anyway, you didnt address what Mary did for Jesus. Would you wash His feet and dry them with your hair ?
In regards to miracles and addressing demons, in Mark 1:23-28 why were the demons calling Jesus " the Holy One of God " for ? Isnt God the only one that can be called holy ? Then they were afraid that he ( Christ ) came to destroy them at this time.
You do they math.
