Mary's Role
- Mary plays a crucial role in salvation history, but she's not the central figure.
- Our beliefs about Mary are founded on our beliefs about Christ, and what the Church teaches about her illuminates our faith in Him.
Predestination vs. Free Will
- Mary's predestination signifies God's plan for her, not a predetermined fate.
- God desired her free cooperation in the incarnation, highlighting His humility.
