How do you read Luke 1:46-47
Luke 1:46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord Luke 1:47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
Was Mary a sinner?
Did Mary need a Savior?
She said she needed a Savior.

Did Mary need a Savior? Yes, she did. And she had one. That much is Catholic dogma.
It does not follow from that the she was a "sinner". A person who commits no actual sins, but is descended from Adam, still requires salvation through Christ. To say otherwise is the heresy of Pelagianism.

Mary was born without Original sin.
Yet she had free will.
She concieved Jesus by the Holy Spirit.
The other two ???? I have to work on. Thanks for posting them to me.

OK Let me start over I had to call my teacher before I try and answer.
the passage you sniped from is the Canticle of Mary
Read it in whole and the foot note
Just from Catechism (I am very fortunate to have 2 teachers in class one has 20+ yrs and the other is our Priest whom is University level in teaching) class/Holy Confirmation I learned that Mary was born without original sin.
Now from my limited knowledge/opinion did Mary need a Saviour? No as she was born without sin and she may have not had it revealed to her pre birth of our Saviour whom she conceived via the Holy Spirit and she stayed pure hence Jesus did not have brothers genetically speaking.
The Luke chapter 26-to the end of the Canticle has 2 possible origins as to Luke writing it on what premise.
To get the full context I would suggest all to read it in it's entirety.
I am using The New American Bible.
