Jn 2:11
Mary is not our Savior and does not and can not intercede for us. She is a woman who found favor with God, but she is a sinner just like every single one of us and she needed to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior in order to be saved.
Mary is the mother of salvation as in the correct context she gave birth to the Christ who is salvation. Through Mary is salvation, that being Christ, not Mary. Can say things depends what context like Mary mother of salvation or through Mary is salvation.
Can say the same about Eve, I mean she's the mother of all the living and through her womb and offspring come the Christ.
Sweet heart of Mary be my salvation?. You talking about Christ another heart that was beating in her womb?

What sins do you think Mary committed? Where in Scripture do you see her committing these sins?
Eve was the mother of all the living in the first creation does this mean Mary is the new eve, the mother of the living in the new creation? Also Jn 19:26
Mary sinned just like all of us and she was born with original sin just like all of us. She needed to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior in order to be saved just like all of us have to.
Can you quote me any text from the Bible that says Mary was sinless? There is none.
Where in Scripture does it state she sinned? Do you have a verse describing her committing a sin?
Yes, I can:
Wisdom 1:4 ---> "For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sin."
Who does Scripture call wisdom? (1 Cor 1:24, 30)
In whose body did wisdom dwell? (Luke 1:31)
If Christ is the Wisdom of God and if Mary is the person in whose body He dwelt, then there is the Immaculate Mother of God.
In addition, in the annunciation narrative in Luke 1:28, Gabriel addressed Mary with, “Hail” followed by the word, “kecharitomene”. This Greek word is translated as “most favored or highly favored” and from the traditional Latin translation of “full of grace“ (gratia plena). However, this unique word means Mary was “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace." [Blass and DeBrunner, A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature]. No one else in Scripture or history is described by this word. It is completely unique and fitting only to Mary, as it is fitting and unique only to the person who would give a human nature to the Logos.
One more interesting side note about the annunciation scene St. Luke describes at Nazareth: Notice how Gabriel addresses Mary. He addresses her with, "Hail", rather than her name. This was a formal address used in the courts of kings and queens. It is meant to both honor and reverence the person being addressed. However, man is lower than angels in the order of grace. Hence in the Scriptures, man always honors and venerates the angels. What makes this encounter more unique is here Gabriel actually honors and venerates Mary. The Blessed Virgin was superior to any of the angels in the fullness of grace, and as an indication of this, Gabriel showed reverence to her by greeting her with a title, "Hail, full of grace" rather than her name.
The authors of the scriptures you believe called her name Mary. The only one in a who is not mentioned by name on any scripture is some diciple Jesus loved.
Anyhow "Hail full of grace".
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Rejoice Mary who has been chosen and favoured and blessed just like all the other prophets in history like Abraham and Moses, the Lord is with you and within you and grace is within you, blessed are you among women because for prophecy to be fulfilled there needs to be a womb.
Jesus Christ is our salvation.
We pray to God, not other people, especially dead people.

Immaculate Conception!
Song of Solomon 4:7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
Song of Solomon 6: 9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
Christ not only saves us from our past sins by forgiveness but he also preserves us from future sin by his grace, in both cases he is savior, and Mary was preserved from original sin and from all sin to the glory of God and the praise of Jesus Christ! Lk 1:49
Since when does the Holy Ghost overshadow a sinner? Lk 1:35
Since when does the Holy Ghost conceive in a sinner? Matt 1:20
Since when does sinner bear the Holy savior? The Holy Son of God? Lk 1:35
Ex 25 see how holy, pure, and consecrated to God’s holy purpose:
Jesus Christ took flesh and blood from a sinner?
The Holy Spirit of God conceived in a sinner the eternal salvation of God and the holy Son of God?
Anything consecrated to God and His service (purposes) must be immaculate clean and pure, covered in Gold.
Immaculate conception (sinless)
gen 3:15 enmity or total war none of satans works are found in Mary!
Lk 1:28 full of grace
Lk 1:49 great things plural (immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus)
Rev12:1 woman clothed with the sun. Immaculate purity, filled with the plentitude of divine grace!
Sinless Virgin!
Immaculate conception!
Lk 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Mary was preserved from all sin!
Jesus is your savior?
How?
By forgiving your past sins? Yes
But also by preserving you from sin!
and Mary was preserved from all sin, original and personal!
In the first moment of Her creation in virtue of the future merits of Jesus Christ!
Lk 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible
Lk 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Ineffabilis Deus
The Immaculate Conception
Pope BI. Pius IX - 1854
“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”
Gen 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
(Enmities total war, none of satan’s works found in Her immaculate purity)
Lk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
(Immaculate purity, full of grace, blessed)
Lk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
(Mary must have immaculate purity)
Lk 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. (Preserved from all sin in virtue of the merits of the blood of the savior who is Her son)
Lk 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
(Immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus)
Song of Solomon 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
Rev 12:1 a woman clothed with the sun.
(Immaculate purity)
Two ways of being savior, forgive sins: and to preserve us from sin:
Mary was preserved by God from sin!
Because of Her immaculate Conception and being filled with the plenitude of divine grace Mary from her mother’s womb saw the beatific vision of God in heaven on His throne, and was consumed with love and desire for God and His will, she dedicated and consecrated her entire being to Him forever, and began interceding and imploring God’s grace and mercy! Matt 5:8
The pure of heart shall see God.
Now repent and believe the Gospel
Jesus is our salvation yes Lk 2:30
Mary found our salvation
Mother of our salvation
