What are the waters of baptism made of?

I know that the Church doesn’t say anything about this, and I think that this is probably the first time that you have heard this question. But it seems to me that it fits right in with how baptism sacramentally brings us into the family of the Church.

Through the water of baptism, the Blessed Virgin becomes our mother, Jesus becomes our brother, and we become “born again”.

My thought is if God sacramentally makes the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ, could it also be that God sacramentally turns the water of Baptism into the same amniotic fluid that filled Mary’s womb when she was pregnant with Jesus?

Has anyone else ever had this idea? Is this idea compatible with Catholic theology? Would I be a heretic for believing such a thing? Or would the Catholic Church neither approve such an idea nor condemn it?

I’m not trying to make the Blessed Virgin Mary into something equal with God. But I was just wondering if God might have willed the sacrament of Baptism to happen this way for us and our blessed Mother.
 
Hi,

If that were the case, the Church would already teach it. But the Church does not teach it and therefore it is not the case.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
