Mary bore in her womb the Second Person of the Trinity, through Whom and for Whom the Universe was created --- Who took flesh from her flesh, and became Man. Is that not a sign and a wonder?

In fact, the greatest one of all?

Stephen and the other Apostles actually did signs and wonders. Mary did none.

No....The Resurrection tops everything.

You continue to illustrate how Roman Catholicism elevates Mary above Jesus.

Yes, it's a wonder.

No, it's not the greatest of them all.

Mary fulfilled the role that God had for her, just as we all do, whatever we are called to do.

The issue isn't the thing that we do for God, it's the obedience that we are rewarded for, no matter what it is we are called to do.

Fulfilling God's calling in our lives does not and should not exalt anyone's position in the eyes of the world or church as what we do we can't even do in our own strength but in God's.

We should get NO credit for faithful service, but He should for calling and then enabling us for action.

All this attention and lauding of Mary for her role in God's plan.

It's WRONG, plain and simple.
