She recognized her sinful condition, even though many today deny what she herself said.
She was irretrievably lost, as are we all, BUT for the gift of God.
Indeed. For it was Christ who kept her free from sin at her Immaculate conception.
“Mary said she needed a Savior.”
We all receive the gift of God’s grace if we repent through Jesus, but Mary is certainly blessed among women.
Lk 1:46 “And Mary said: My soul does magnify the Lord. And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.”
Lk 1:26-38 “And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold you shall conceive in your womb and shall bring forth a son: and you shall call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
I seem to remember a passage in Revelation where St. Paul describes a woman in heaven clothed in the sun and wearing a crown that we traditionally interpret as Mary, but really don’t know for sure.
