THE REDEMPTION AND MARY
CO-REDEMPTRIX
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ is the Co-redemptrix, meaning that Mary uniquely cooperated with Jesus and is entirely subordinate to and dependent upon Jesus, in the historic work of Redemption. Lets define our terms. What is Redemption? Redemption is the saving act of Jesus Christ, through his life, Passion, Death, and Resurrection, repairing our relationship with the Father by offering just compensation for the sins of humanity, and thus restoring the possibility of sanctifying grace, and friendship between God and humanity, which results in the inheritance of heaven.
