One section down it is fleshed out. Mary is the perfect embodiment of faith.

I realize this is the RC position. However, this is still fuzzy language.

Why not simply declare her to be the perfect embodiment? "Most perfect" is in itself contradictory and sloppy language.

How do we know Mary was the perfect embodiment of faith? There is no biblical basis for this claim. We only see glimpses of her in the New Testament. In what we see there is genuine consistency. To claim she is perfect in this matter is extrapolation / speculation.

Mary is the perfect embodiment of faith.

I agree:)

NYER said in an earlier post to answer the question What is faith that faith was a gift from God. IMO, that was not really a complete answer. I would say faith is taking God at His word and ACTING upon it, Which Mary did.

Her response was "according to His will." She accepted Him as her savior. She endured alot but retained her trust of Him, that is faith. Becky
