Gabriel said to Mary, "Greetings, highly favored one". Highly favored one is "charitoo" and is used of all who believe in Ephesians 1:6. It is not a special title indicating queen-ship but instead indicates a recipient of God's grace, as are all in Christ.
Apr 7, 2023 at 12:11 comment added Mike Borden Rev. 12:1 cannot be Mary. hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/a/2039/32868
Apr 6, 2023 at 21:53 comment added jong ricafort @MikeBorden Revelation12:1 is the answer. and remember before revelation, the archangel nearest to the Throne of God reveal the dignity of the lowly handmaid by sayingm "Hail". Archange; Gabriel reveal that Mary is a Queen. That's plain reading and direct description of Mary's stature according to a high ranking angel. Be wise.
Apr 6, 2023 at 13:41 comment added Mike Borden If you spiritualize everything you cloud the plain meaning and keep people from the truth. Why is there no Queen of Heaven present in the New Jerusalem, the new Heaven or the new Earth? Surely the Queen of Heaven, the Seat of Wisdom, the Bride of the Holy Spirit, etc., would be mentioned alongside God and Jesus if such things were true but, as it stands, there is no darkness there because God and the Lamb are the light.
Apr 6, 2023 at 13:05 comment added jong ricafort @MikeBorden I fully understand that you lack wisdom how to grasp the mystery, why? Mary is the Seat of Wisdom, and it is understandable why you lack the gifts.
Apr 6, 2023 at 12:58 comment added Mike Borden Or "unformed body" might simply mean that God has perfect foreknowledge of things that do not even exist yet in the physical world. This is much more in line with the tenor of the entire Psalm (which is about God's limitless knowledge) than trying to read in something about sanctified sperm.
Apr 6, 2023 at 12:23 comment added jong ricafort @MikeBorden "unformed body" is the key word to ponder. A zygote is a formed body, while a sperm not united to egg cell is still unformed. St.Joachim pour out a "spotless seed", this is the reason why Mary is preserved from stain of original sin, because St.Joachim was healed of concupiscence, and the sexual procreation act with St.Anne was sanctified, thereby, producing, an offspring so pure, it surpasses the beauty of all creatures combined, even the angels was in awe with the beauty after seeing the birth of the Virgin Mary.
Apr 6, 2023 at 12:18 comment added Mike Borden This is a verse explaining God's unsearchable knowledge in the middle of a Psalm extolling God's unsearchable knowledge which ends with the Psalmist humbling himself before God's great knowledge. I don't know what you are trying to pull out of this Psalm.

Dec 9, 2022 at 13:24 comment added Mike Borden Can you demonstrate the "spotless seed" of St Joachim from the Bible?

Mar 24, 2019 at 10:12 comment added jong ricafort Note: Sanctified means original sin was removed like the Sacrament of Baptism where in the sanctifying grace was given freely to restored Divine Life to a soul. But consecration means a further action was done not just sanctification. All of the baptized souls was sanctified by the merit of Christ but not all who were baptized was consecrated. Jeremiah was not only sanctified, he was consecrated by God Himself. St.John the Baptist was consecrated by St.Elizabeth with the intercession of Theotokos while St.Joseph was more privelege as Jesus & Mary was there to consecrate him..
