Mary is considered Co-Redemptrix, why? The Word {hypostatically} could not be truly Divine, and truly Human, unless he was born of a Human.

Theotokos, Our Mother Mary was before time selected as the only one who would have the purity and sanctity required to shelter the Incarnate Word in her womb ( Ave Maria, Gratia plena ) She was “full of Grace” When Gabriel greeted her.

Only the purest vessel could hold Purity Enfleshed, and it was prophesied the messiah would be born of a virgin’. We have a Father, and a Son, so why would God refuse us a Heavenly Mother? Mary’s only message in the gospel accounts is, “Listen to my Son”.

Also in the times when Jesus roamed the earth, it was a commonly understood custom that the Kings would never refuse their Mother’s requests (Kings mothers were designated Queens in ancient times, ergo, the Queen had more influence on the King than the entire King’s Court combined.

We do not worship Mary, worship and adoration belong only to the Most Holy Trinity but isn’t their something lovely and sacred about a Mother’s love? To be continued...

From DeMontfort:

5. Mary is the supreme masterpiece of Almighty God and he has reserved the knowledge and possession of her for himself. She is the glorious Mother of God the Son who chose to humble and conceal her during her lifetime in order to foster her humility. He called her "Woman" as if she were a stranger, although in his heart he esteemed and loved her above all men and angels. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter. She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity where God dwells in greater and more divine splendour than anywhere else in the universe, not excluding his dwelling above the cherubim and seraphim. No creature, however pure, may enter there without being specially privileged.
