The actions or lack thereof of a young Jewish girl would hardly stop or frustrate the will of the Almighty from being accomplished.
“Mary of course, in a much greater way. ~Co-~ means WITH.”
Actually the prefix “co” indicates a partnership or joint participation as in “co-owner, co-editor” etc.
Mary didn't do any redeeming or buying back of mankind nor could she.
When is this nonsense going to stop? The Church declares that in its doctrines Mary is the Co-redemptrix and then very specifically and unambiguously defines the term. Then some non-Catholics jump in and say "no that isn't what you mean!".
Such comments aren't even worth refuting, especially when the offer has been made numerous times to explain the teaching and the offenders have opted for continued ignorance. I do pity them and pray that the gift of wisdom and understanding be given them if not the gift of knowledge. I also pray that I get the gift of patience to continue to suffer the fools.
Peace be with you.
CYC: The actions or lack thereof of a young Jewish girl would hardly stop or frustrate the will of the Almighty from being accomplished.
God didn't give every person He created free will? Why bother sending the archangel Gabriel? Where does the "lack there of" apply to Mary?
“Mary of course, in a much greater way. ~Co-~ means WITH.”
Actually the prefix “co” indicates a partnership or joint participation as in “co-owner, co-editor” etc.
Exactly, Mary's free will choice, her "joint participation" in, another word "with" the Trinity's plan for mankind's redemption.
Mary didn't do any redeeming or buying back of mankind nor could she.
A person's prayers never helps "with" the salvation of far away loved ones or helps "with" something temporal here? Yes they do. How come our actions in helping Our Lord, our prayers are fine but Mary saying "yes" I will watch My Son die a terrible tortured death doesn't count? Which shows more of a cooperation in God's plan? Thank Mary, it would please Our Lord very much, reject the anti-Mary belief.
