Mary, of course, can’t be anything other than another one of us many sinners who are saved by grace.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

“Mary, of course, can’t be anything other than another one of us many sinners who are saved by grace.”

Uh, so you and everyone else carried Jesus in your womb (if you have one) for 9 months and gave birth to him, just like Mary, since she’s no different than you or me?

Co-redemptrix does not mean equal redeemer. It simply recognizes the simple fact that without a Mother there would be no Incarnation (embodiment) and without Incarnation there would be no redemption. She is an agent of the prccess by which God saves us.

She is.

She simply is.

Deny it until you are blue in the face but it doesn’t change the fact: without Mary there would be no Incarnation.

Everything she did she did only by God’s grace.

But God did what He did to save us by means of Mary. Really, truly by means of her.
