Aquinas on Mary

God literally could not have made Mary any more perfectly. 😭

“Article 6. Whether God can do better than what He does? … On the contrary, It is said (Ephesians 3:20): “God is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand.” … Reply to Objection 4. The humanity of Christ, from the fact that it is united to the Godhead; and created happiness from the fact that it is the fruition of God; and the Blessed Virgin from the fact that she is the mother of God; have all a certain infinite dignity from the infinite good, which is God. And on this account there cannot be anything better than these; just as there cannot be anything better than God.”
