I understand how Mary’s titles of Mediatrix and Co-Redemptrix remain one of the sorest points in Evangelical – Catholic discussions. A Protestant who has heard of these titles will use them as a big stick with which to beat Catholics, and it is important to know how best to engage the discussion. For genuine dialogue, it is vital to listen to and u...
Instead of wading into an argument about Mary being Mediatrix and Co-Redemptrix, it is useful to discuss the principle and possibility of humans cooperating with God in the work of redemption. Protestants have a deeply ingrained resistance to the idea that we can cooperate with God for our redemption at all. In their desire to maintain the doctrine...
Once an Evangelical admits that cooperation with God is not only possible, but necessary, it opens up the idea that there is a purpose for our co-working with God. We cooperate with God for the salvation of the world. Here is another point where the Evangelical critic can connect. The Evangelical believes that each one of us has a new mission in li...
An Evangelical may accept this in theory, but still may find it difficult to understand how Mary can be called a “co-redemptrix.” It is worthwhile going back to the mysterious words of St. Paul. In an astounding phrase, St. Paul says that his sharing in Christ’s sufferings is actually effective. It completes “what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions...
The Evangelical may accept Mary as vital for the Incarnation and therefore the Redemption but may wonder why we insist that she has a continuing redemptive and mediatory role. We believe this because Mary’s role was not once and done. Mary did not conceive and bear Jesus, then just disappear. If her action had meaning, then it was as a continuing r...

The Immaculate Conception also highlights the primacy of grace in Mary’s life.
Aug 25, 2024 · The Role of Mary in the Plan of Salvation: A Reflection from the Heart and Theology. Mary, the Most Holy Mother of God, holds a unique and essential place in the plan of salvation, not only as the Mother of the Redeemer but also as our spiritual Mother.
Nov 21, 2022 · As the future mother of the Son of God, Mary is conceived without Original Sin. Moreover, she remains free from sin throughout her whole life. Imagine that . . . living your entire life without once giving in to the temptation to commit a single sin!
Everything about Mary, everything that makes her and her place in God's plan different from ours, is only because of God's grace to her. Mary is entirely a product of God's tender, loving grace. And that is something with which Protestants can agree, even though they do not recognize just how gracious God was toward Mary.
