All of these are not by Mary being who Mary is but because Jesus is who Jesus is.

God chose this humble virgin to be the one through whom Jesus came to the world. Fight it all you like, it is His plan and His choice.

Everything about Mary is connected to Jesus, she is the one whom HE chose to bear Him and yet, without her yes, her fiat, her cooperation to participate He would not have come as He did. Mary was not just some broad that God forced Himself on. She is a full participant in Jesus’ mission, sharing in all that He does. Her entire life on earth and now beside Him in heaven is to draw sinners to Him so that they may be saved.

She is His first disciple and everything about her exhorts us to pray, to trust Jesus, to repent. She was the portal of all graces in that she is the bearer of the Good News, Jesus, our savior and the Messiah.

Whatever Jesus asks of her she does. Wherever Jesus asks her to go she goes. And in every deed, every message she calls us to Jesus, to God, to life.

THOSE silly, slipping,s liding, denying, obfuscating assertions are UNMITIGATEDLY WRONG AGAIN.

The wording in Ferraro is quite unequivocal and vain-gloriously ascribes quite plainly to Mary various personal powers and offices very much in contradiction to Scripture.

Such authors and the institution which supports them shall experience God’s disciplines accordingly.
