Implications of preternatural powers of our first parents before the Fall

[DANIEL M. OFFUTT]

If Adam or Eve could simply look at anything and immediately know almost everything there was to know about it, then so could anyone else created in the state of grace.
But the Blessed Virgin was created in the state of grace.

Hence the Blessed Virgin could look at anything and immediately know almost everything there was to know about it.

[DANIEL M. OFFUTT]

Likewise, if Adam could lift boulders with his will, without touching them, then so also could the Blessed Virgin, at any time she was on Earth.

Yes, her intellect is all pure. She has never erred in her reasoning.

As Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., wrote in Mother of the Savior ch. 3 art. 6:

     The knowledge which Mary had while still on earth had limits, especially at the beginning. She did not, for example, understand the full import of what Jesus said about His Father’s business when she found Him in the Temple. But, as has been often said, the limits were limits, not gaps. Hence she was in no sense ignorant, for the limits did not deprive her of the knowledge of anything she should have known at the time. God’s Mother knew at every stage of her life all that it was becoming for her to know.
     Nor was she subject to error. She was never precipitate in judging; if she had not sufficient light she suspended her judgement; if she was not sure about a thing she was satisfied to affirm that it was likely or probable. For example, when she thought it likely that Jesus was not in the company of her friends and relatives on the occasion when she lost Him, her belief was a very likely one indeed—though in point of fact it was not true—and in looking on it as likely Mary did not err.

[DANIEL M. OFFUTT]

Although the Blessed Virgin did not have the Beatific Vision while she was on Earth, nevertheless, she had the Gift of Knowledge to a greater extent than any mere human will have had throughout all of time.  Why would she have reasoned about anything in that case?

Pray for silence before NO Mass here in the Milwaukee Archdiocese, if you please.  That's what Cardinal Dolan (when he was Archbishop here) said that he wanted.
