The Church teaches us that Grace flows from Mary, the New Eve. She was full of grace, sinless, spotless before God. She is are Mediatrix and our Co-Redemtrix. From Her, all Grace flows...

I am a Marian which means my faith was developed in my study of Mary. And I do think she is full of grace just as heroes and Saints are.... I think she is the greatest of all saint.

But Mary is not a God to me.

I consider Mary as someone who has the best memory of who Christ is.... I imagine what Mary would think in all the her experiences with her son. In doing this meditaion, I find getting to know Christ better.

Mary's grace to me and her being a mediatrix is this. That when I pray and contemplate on Christ, Mary's memory helps.... Mary's memory to me is the rosary.

Many times, I struggle to know Christ. I do not think I could ever know him well enough to understand him. I keep saying that when I read the bible, everytime I think I already know it, I find something new again. It is this with Christ. He is always new to me.

And everytime I get to know him, he instead seem to introduce me to something new about myself.... just as a friend would gently and most welcomely change the topic of conversation.

Somehow, Christ is like the sun to me... too bright to look into often but more experienced in warmth....

and at times when I cannot see Him.... in the dark night of my life... I see a lovely moon that lights up the sky.

the moon is mary to me... grace that comes from the sun.

The Bible teaches that grace flows from the throne of God, not from Mary. Mary was not sinless. If she thought she was sinless, she never would have taken a sin offering for herself to the temple when she went to present Jesus. She did not die for our sins, so she can't be co-redemtrix. Jesus didn't need her help in saving the world from sin. It was His sacrifice and His alone that allows us grace and the opportunity to enter the presence of God in peace.

Directly from God. Notice who you say teaches that, the Church, the Catholic Church. It is not found in the Bible. Mary was not sinless. The only sinless one was Jesus Christ and the only way that Mary can appear spotless before God is if she accepted the gift that Christ gave on the cross. All grace flows directly from God the Father. He does not need anyone else to distribute it to us.

A.) No Protestant i understand denys Mary her place with the aid of fact the mummy of Jesus. (and you surprisingly much by no potential hear them communicate of the two Ruth or Deborah dissimilar the time.) B.) What place does Mary have in salvation? Please cut back your respond to the easily teachings of the Bible, no longer the traditions of the Catholic Church or the training of the Pope. outdoors of a few mentions interior the 1st few chapters of Matthew, Luke and John, her presence on the tomb, and one passage in Acts, there is surprisingly much no point out of her contained in something of the Bible. not one of the passages potential that a perception in her in any way is any component of salvation.

The Holy Spirit. Makes ya think doesn't it? Why are all sins forgivable, Except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

Through the Sacraments, of course. A Sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace we have received.

This is hardly a "Protestant" idea....it's right out of the catechism.

Forget religion and follow Christ. Remember, Christ rose back to life on the third day after HIS crucifixion and Mary remained dead after she died.
