Our Blessed Mother Mary
Readings
Genesis 3:15 – This verse, known as the Protoevangelium, is prophetic of the future conflict between the seed of the woman and the serpent. This is seen as referring to the role of Jesus, made incarnate in Mary, and his victory over Satan...
Luke 11: 27-28 – Christ refocuses the crowd on His true mission and His mother’s role in God’s grand scheme…
Revelation 12: 1 & 2, and 10-13 – A beautiful reference to our Blessed Mother…
CCC 88 and 89 – The necessity of adherence of faith, and things about Mary that we use as “lights along the path of faith”.
Sharing Questions
- If you have a particular fondness for our Blessed Mother Mary, did an incident or incidents in your life spark and feed that love?
- How does your devotion to Mary manifest itself in your own personal Catholic practices? ( The Rosary, novenas, litanies, study of icons, wearing of scapula or medals, etc.)
- Do you have a favorite Marian apparition and why?
- How would you answer our Protestant brothers and sisters who say that we worship Mary and that it is heretical?
