God endowed her with perfections corresponding to the humanity of Christ. It can be said the humanity of God is the humanity of Mary, but Mary is never God. The creation of Mary implied the humanity of second person of the holy trinity.
Can you explain what you think this means?
I got this from the book... The Visions of the children by Fanice T. Connell

I think it means Jesus was born of Mary......Jesus is humanity........so HE is the humanity of Mary........GOD is humanity being born through Mary by Jesus' birth. But because Jesus is from GOD...only, that humanity born was not of Mary, but really of GOD, and Mary can never be considered to be equal to GOD OR JESUS.

Wait. Stop. "God endowed her with perfections..." Perfections?
In the Bible, you will find Mary confessing her sinful state and stating she is in need of a Savior. You will also find Mary asking that her friends do the will of Jesus Christ.
We can learn a lot from the REAL Mary of the Bible, not the Mary that the Roman Catholic Church has endowed with god-hood and coredeemer. There is nothing Scriptural to back their claims.
We should do what Mary said and submit to Jesus Christ.

""God endowed her with perfections .""
YIKES! NOT Biblical at all. NO ONE is perfect accept THE GOD!
~~~~~~~`
""It can be said the humanity of God is the humanity of Mary.""
That's BLASPHEMY! God comes AFTER Mary -the EARTHLY mother of Jesus!
~~~~~~~~
""The creation of Mary implied the humanity of second person of the holy trinity.""
I suppose that makes good seance to someone.
The existence of the EARTHLY mother indicates or implies the son.
But again, should the mother of Jesus be put BEFORE JESUS?
If Jesus is indeed GOD - which HE is it is kind of saying THE POT IS ABOVE THE POTTER!

To me,it means that Mary,being Jesus Mother,took on the responsibility of becoming an example to her Son Jesus by becoming the most like God she could be.She taught Jesus everything He knew until He was old enough to establish his own relationship with the Father in Heaven and distinguish between good and evil with consequence.Mary showed on Earth what god-like qualities would be introduced into the human Jesus so would be a perfect example to Him.

It's saying that while Mary is a good example of a human being, she is not divine. She was the one who endowed Jesus Christ with Humanity, while God endowed him with Divinity. Without both parts Jesus would have never been able to accomplish his role as the "Son" part of the Holy Trinity.

More nonsense about great feats God supposedly did. It's another attempt by someone to add even more interpretation to a book that people like adding their own interpreatation to. In this case, it is attempting to say how Mary was a great work of God, but it also made sure that it stressed that the woman wasn't divine, herself. Religions do tend to be mostly patriarchical. They don't like women having too much of the stage.

Mary isn't part of the trinity.the father the son and the holy spirit.is the trinity. Mary was just the virgin that gave birth to Jesus.

There is none greater than JESUS CHRIST but the FATHER (GOD)!! God,who sent himself (Jesus) to earth in the form of a man to live as He wanted us to and has directed us to live-according to his Word, therefore Mary can't be put in equal state or above Jesus, because that would mean that she was above GOD---NOT IN ANY LIFE!!! Read ur Word.

Sounds Catholic to me. I'm Methodist, we generally only talk about Mary at Christmas and Easter.
