Mary's greatest need was the same need that all of humanity has and that is the need for salvation.
Mary was a sinner and so she needed a Savior to redeem her.
The Roman Catholic Church falsely claim that Mary was sinless but the Bible speaks otherwise. Every human being aprat from the Lord Jesus Christ has sinned. Romans 3.23 tells us that all have sinned and that includes Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Mary needed a Savior and so do we all. Mary's Savior and our Savior is the Lord Jesus.
