Mary is the Mother of the humanity of Christ.

But we hold the human nature of Christ is united to the Divine nature in one person.

She is not and never has been the source of His divinity.

Agreed, except in so far as his Divinity is inseparable from his humanity.

Jesus, as Paul tells us in the second chapter of Philippians, was as humbled as ever anyone could be humbled. The link between humility and quilt is certainly usually the case. But it is not logically necessary. One can be guilty without being humble and humble without being guilty.

And one can be humble AND be guilty which is exactly what Mary proclaimed in Luke 1:47 - God MY Savior. Context is everything.

And one (me) can be quite proud of his humility. Ouch!
