Greetings: I am a rather pious Catholic so I will tell you what I understand it to mean. Being human is a condemnation to being incomplete, and it is a incompleteness to which is our fulness. Take boylovers for example: they are incomplete in that they can never 'have' a boy, but they are full in that incopmpletesness because such an obvious incompleteness invites them to a deeper longing fpor a fulfillment toward comleteness and thus more prayer is activiated. Mary was born sinless because she transcended her humanity, which man can only do after birth, we can make up for our humanism by being one in a post-human self, like Mary, she was born without original sin only in retrospect, you become sinless through death, because to be human is to be one who is-not. And so Mary became sinless by her death to self and enetered that mystery. I hope that helps a wee bit, just say a few holy marys and ask her to explain it, she does it much better God Speed David |
