Reply to "Did Mary Believe She Was The Mother Of God?"

It was stated earlier: 

Is Mary the Spiritual Mother of Humanity?  Today, Mary's body is in a grave, while her spirit is in heaven -- just like billions of other believers.  At the Rapture, she, and all other believers, i..e., all saints -- will receive our glorified, immortal bodies.  That is the extent of her influence -- the same as billions of other saints in heaven today.

 

Answer:  Yes.  Rev 12;17 says that Mary is the mother of all who obey God's commandments.  And since she appears in heaven (Rev 12:1), clearly her body is NOT in a grave.  That and the fact that she has appeared at Lourdes, Fatima, etc also make it obvious to Christians that her body is not in a grave, and that her influence is far greater than all the others in heaven.  Which makes sense, one's Mother has influence over her children. 

 

And I'll let catholic answers explain co-redemptrix: 

It will help if you understand what the Church means by such doctrines and what it does not mean. First, the Church recognizes that Jesus in the ultimate sense is our only redeemer—plain and simple. Only God could make up for an offense against his divinity. When Jesus, the second Person of the Blessed Trinity, became man, he used the services of several human beings. he used prophets, the last of whom was his cousin, John the Baptist. He used St. Joseph as his foster father to protect him and to be a father to him in his formative years. Most of all, he used Mary as his mother who gave birth to him, nursed him, and nurtured him as a child. All of these people cooperated with him and his mission of salvation. He alone was the redeemer in the ultimate sense, but they cooperated with him in his work of redemption. In varying degrees they all could be called co-redeemers because of such cooperation. But because of her unique role and the degree of her cooperation, Mary is singled out. In all of humanity, God singled her out for a truly sublime role. Nursing Almighty God at her breast is beyond our ability to fully appreciate. Yet thousands of Christians since the Protestant reformation have completely ignored such sublimity.

Praised be Jesus forever!!!
