BLESSED MARY FULL OF GRACE

ALL SALVATION WAITED UPON THE INFINITE GRACE OF ONE WOMAN TO BRING FORTH THE JUST ONE PROPHECIED BY ALL OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS, CHRIST THE DIVINE SAVIOR.St. Thomas Aquinas: "And such was the purity of the Blessed Virgin, who was exempt from original and actual sin."
(Sentences, Distinct. 44, Q. I, Art. 3)
"[Mary was] most pure in regard to every fault because she never incurred the guilt of either original or actual sin."
(Opusculum 4 on the Angelical Salutation)

It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word. We magnify you, the true Theotokos. FROM THE DIVINE LITURGY
St. Gregory of Nazianz (c. 330 - 389 A.D.) Letters 101

"If anyone does not agree that Holy Mary is THE MOTHER OF GOD [Theotokos], he is at odds with the Godhead. If anyone asserts that Christ passed through the Virgin as through a channel, and was not shaped in her both divinely and humanly, divinely because without man and humanly because in accord with the law of gestation, he is likewise godless."


Canticle of Mary
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
My Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour
For He has looked with favour on His lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:
The Almighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His Name.

He has mercy on those who fear Him
In every generation.

He has shown the strength of His arm,
He has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
And has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of His servant Israel
For He has remembered His promise of mercy,
The promise He made to our fathers,
To Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning.
is now, and will be forever.

Amen.

"And a great sign appeared in Heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."
(Note: The Blessed Virgin, the Ark of the Covenant, bodily in Heaven.)

Yes, I know who you believe the catholic church is, and that you believe it is infallible. What I'm asking you to do, is to show me, with GOD'S OWN word, that God believes everything that the catholic church believes.

[aburke673]

@WHUDOOIN The divine Word is both oral and apostolic tradition; the unanimous consent of all the church fathers.  the unanimous church has always everywhere believed as we believe since the apostles. no one can bear witness against Christ and his immaculate bride the catholic church who is true Israel.

[WHUDOOIN]

I remember a time in my life, when I thought that the catholic church was the most holy thing. But when God revealed to me that HE is the most holy thing, I cried out with a loud voice, GOOOOOD, TEACH ME WHAT YOU BELIEVE!!!!

[aburke673]

@WHUDOOIN the catholic church is his immaculate spotless bride. the scriptures state he came for his lost sheep Israel. Israel is the church prophecied in Jeremias. a true remnant of Judah will universally convert right before the second coming of Christ. Christ cursed Judah to the face in the book of saint Mathew. Your house will remain desolate until you see me again/right before the second coming of Christ who will judge all by his divine word.

[WHUDOOIN]

Well, I'm sorry to have failed to reveal to you that the foundation of righteousness is God, not the Church, which is subject to God, not to the apostles. I too know that there is one LORD, one faith, one baptism, and that the "RIGHT WAY" is God's, not His servants'. I will continue to glorify God, weighing the Church by HIS standards, not vice versa. HE is ruler, not the Church.

[aburke673]

@WHUDOOIN Yes. God is the source of all good truth justice mercy and rightousness. His bride is the catholic church and she is immaculate. she is without stain of sacramental sin. she is perfect and explicitly sacramentally united to Crhist her bride groom.

[WHUDOOIN]

But where are the Holy scriptures that prove that what the catholic church believes is true? Give me GOD'S word, not the word of ANY man. GIVE ME BIBLE... You claim to have the holy scriptures. Do you not trust them yourself? Give me GOD'S word.

@WHUDOOIN I am not hiding in your inbox. I saw your comment in my inbox but it had not come up on this page yet and I wanted to answer it immediately.

[WHUDOOIN]

No need to hide in my inbox. If I've angered you, tell me, and I'll stop posting. I don't want to offend you. I just want a conversation. You say, "I can answer all your objections." Answer all my questions, if you would. And, please, let's not snap at one another, publicly or privately.
