The Catechism introduces us to Mary's Immaculate Conception and explains why God preserved her “immune from all stain of original sin.” Fr. Mike answers a common question asked in response to this revelation: “Why didn't God just preserve us all from original sin?” His answer might surprise you.

How can/do you praise God in the middle of your story, before everything has all "worked out"? Mary sang the beautiful Magnificat, praising God for all that He has done while Jesus was still inside her womb. She didn't know what the next 33 years were going to look like. God had yet to do what she was praising Him for doing. She was praising the promise that she knew would be fulfilled.   Nehemiah 8:1–3, 5–6, 8–10 1 Corinthians 12:12–31a Luke 1:46-55

January 3rd, 2025 Mary and the Glories of Womanhood The Mother of Jesus Mother of the Incarnate Word, Not Because of Sin, but Despite It

This study looks at some of the facts about Mary and provides some application from her life.

Apart from the events surrounding the birth of Christ, we hear little about Mary throughout the scriptures. She was at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, at the cross, and in the upper room after Christ's resurrection. But not much else. But we can learn a lot from this humble village maiden. Check out this week's message on "Mary, Handmaid of the Lord" - with speaker Peter Ramsay. 

Listen in to The Mustard Seed Podcast as Keisha, Leslie, and Elizabeth take a closer look into the mother of our Savior. Her bravery, her faith, and her obedience to God so we all could be saved.

Why me? (Mary, mother of Jesus).Bible reference: Luke 1:26-38.Series: Advent 2024.Why me? A Christmas day reflection from the perspective of Mary, mother of Jesus, written by Nick Fawcett.

This Christmas message explores the profound truth that the birth of Christ is the ultimate expression of God's love. Through Mary's extraordinary encounter with God, Pastor Matt Petty reveals five transformative truths about divine love: • God's love knows us intimately - even a humble teenage girl in Nazareth • His power manifests in unexpected ways - turning ordinary moments into divine appointments • His mercy extends beyond generations - from Abraham to Mary to us today • He lifts up the humble heart - choosing those the world overlooks • He faithfully keeps every promise - proving that no word from God will ever fail Through Mary's courageous response, we learn that true faith isn't about our worthiness but about saying "yes" to God's love. This message challenges us to move beyond seasonal celebrations to experience the transformative power of divine love that changes everything.

Characters of Christmas: Mary, Mother of JesusLuke 1:26-3826 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”38 “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

In Matthew's genealogy (ch. 1), Mary the Mother of Jesus is the last of five women mentioned by the evangelist. As Jesus' mother, she has a special role in the plan of redemption. Nancy Dawson joins David Capes today to talk about this remarkable woman. Some Protestants mute her because some other Jesus followers hold her in such high regard. But the Scriptures give her a large voice (Luke 1-2) at the occasion of the Incarnation. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic). The Stone Chapel Podcast is part of the ChurchLeaders Podcast Network.

Dr. Nancy Dawson holds a M.S. in plant taxonomy and Ph.D. in biology/cell biology. After teaching in that field at Western Kentucky University and Texas A&M, she attended Duke Divinity School. She now works as an independent scholar in theology and has published All the Genealogies of the Bible: Visual Charts and Exegetical Commentary (Zondervan, 2023). In this episode she draws upon that research to shed light on Jesus' parents, their relationship to each other and to Elizabeth, and how these people and relationships help us understand who Jesus is.

John 2:1-11: The Lord of the wine (Mary the mother of Jesus) - Steve by Christ City Church Dublin

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Happy birthday Mary! The mother of our Lord is about 2038 years old and doesn't look a day over 1873. How does she do it!? I have a very special devotion to the mother of Jesus, since all the signs indicate that she was the one to come after me. She is the one who turned me back to God some 25 years ago.   September 8th is the traditional day that we celebrate Mary's birthday. It also was the day five years ago that I was asked to give a talk about Mary, on her birthday. One of the stories that I told was what had happened just two days before her special day. My wife, Elizabeth, and I were in Eucharistic adoration at our church. Sitting before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is not supposed to be a time to take a nap, but I did. During the snooze, I had a very special dream that was delivering a message to me. As you will hear in this episode, the dream inspired me to learn more about Mary, church history, the Bible, etc. The dream told me to strip away the ignorance that I had about all the above.   Mary's message to me included the same message that she had delivered to all of us 2000 years ago at the wedding feast of Cana. 'Do whatever he tells you.'   So, here is my birthday present to our Lady. It is a reminder of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going.

Better Stories: Mary The Mother Of Jesus by Lifehouse

We can learn and be inspired by Mary's story. She leaned on God's Word and moved forward, trusting God's leading and direction. Mary believed that God would keep His promises, and decided to trust Him during the uncertainties in life. Although Mary's path was unknown, she surrendered to faith, hope and love, and trusted God in moving forward. Moments with God will release hope when you are facing unbelievably difficult challenges. You can experience faith in the midst of the circumstance and say to God as Mary said to the angel, “Let it be done as you have said.” And God will give you grace in that moment to do and be all that He has for you, and you can know that you can feast on His love, rest in His love all the way through the unknowns. The most important thing is to make the “God decision,” and then it's on God to fulfill it!

April 19, 2024 - Friday 10:00AM MPR 1 Speaker   Speaker: Kristy Woodall   Submitting to His Lordship like Mary, the Mother of Jesus Lk 1:38 Faith that made her willing Servant of God Lk 2:35 She would suffer Lk 2:48 Was she angry? Lk 2:51 Cherished and committed to memory   Acts 1:14 devoted to prayer with the disciples after his ascension   Three things to consider when submitting to His Lordship – it is so much more than just baptism. There is a burden, a benefit, and a bargain The Burden The burden of Biblical submission – arranging yourself under another's authority is very difficult for most to do. We cannot be our own boss and submit. Matt 16:24 deny self and “take up your cross” death to self Your life is no longer your own You agree your wants and desires ambitions priorities DON'T MATTER Matt 6:33 there will be sacrifices – going where you want, movies, books, language/conversions, you body (alc, drugs, gluttony, casual sex), clothing 1Tim 2:9 1Cor 6:19-20 We have to care more for our and the souls of others You might be an outcast in life (work, school) You can't retaliate when provoked (i.e. traffic) Matt 5:39 Submission is a lifelong endeavor of small as well as big sacrifices; you might have to separate from loved ones/relationships that are not scriptural Titus 2 we are expected to teach Heb 10:25 faithful attendance 2Tim 2:15 study on your won Give back to God $$ and NOT your leftovers or 2nds Mal 1:10 failure to actually worship You should “feel” a sacrifice (is it real if you don't feel it) Eph 5:22 even if his idea stinks he has the final word Submit to the eldership The Benefit 1 John 5:11 eternal life 2 Thess 1:8=9 spared Be in God's presence Sing praises God will see you Reunions with family If promise of Heaven were the only benefit it would be worth the burden You will never be alone/feel alone – you have Christ No heartache, no tears in Heaven Phil 4:7 (here) Blessed with a new family in the church Identity and purpose Matt 20:19-20  Ecc 12:13 Col 3:4 He isn't just an important part of your life; He IS your life You have a purpose and a job John 5:28-29 you know what will happen Greater quality of life; God knows what is best, his rules benefit and protect us Bargain If we agree to and abide by the “burdens” mentioned it still wouldn't be enough. The “bargain” is that Jesus paid our debt for us. Jesse chose debt so we can have the “option” to submit and choose to do so. WE have the choice to accept the great bargain, the great deal that Jesus has to offer us.   Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugJY9PNHx7w   Duration 38:08

Dr Candida Moss shares the work of Dr Mitzi J. Smith which brings to light the Greek wording in the gospel of Luke where Mary shares her enslaved identity, suggesting Jesus could have been born enslaved.

And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Luke 2:19 Today, January 1, we complete our octave celebration of Christmas Day. It's an often overlooked liturgical fact that we celebrate Christmas Day for eight straight days. We do this also with Easter Day, which concludes with the great celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday.On this, the eighth day of the Octave of Christmas, we turn our focus to the unique and beautiful fact that God chose to enter our world through a human mother. Mary is called the “Mother of God” for the simple fact that her Son is God. She was not the mother of her Son's flesh alone, nor the mother only of His human nature. This is because the Person of Jesus, the Son of God, is one Person. And that one Person took on flesh within the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.Though becoming the Mother of God was a pure gift from Heaven and not something that Mother Mary merited on her own, there was one particular quality that she had that made her uniquely qualified to fulfill this role. That quality was her immaculate nature. First, Mother Mary was preserved from all sin when she was conceived within the womb of her mother, Saint Anne. This special grace was a grace that was imparted to her from the future life, death and resurrection of her Son. It was the grace of salvation, but God chose to take that gift of grace and transcend time to impart it to her at the moment of her conception, thus making her the perfect and pure instrument necessary to bring forth God into the world.Second, Mother Mary remained faithful to this gift of grace throughout her life, never choosing to sin, never wavering, never turning from God. She remained immaculate throughout her life. Interestingly, it is this choice of hers, to forever remain obedient to the will of God in every way, that makes her more fully the Mother of God than the simple act of bearing Him within her womb. Her act of perfect unity with the will of God throughout her life makes her, also, the perfect mother of divine grace and mercy and perpetually the spiritual Mother of God, continually and perfectly bringing Him into our world.Reflect, today, upon these most solemn mysteries of our faith. This eighth day of the Octave of Christmas is a solemn celebration, a celebration worthy of our pondering. The Scripture above reveals not only how our blessed Mother approached this mystery but also how we are to approach it. She “kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” Ponder these mysteries, also, in your own heart and allow the grace of this holy celebration to fill you with joy and gratitude.Dearest Mother Mary, you were graced with a grace beyond any other. You were preserved from all sin and remained perfectly obedient to the will of God throughout your life. As a result, you became the perfect instrument of the Savior of the World by becoming His mother, the Mother of God. Pray for me that I may ponder this great mystery of our faith this day and ever more deeply rejoice in the incomprehensible beauty of your motherly soul. Mother Mary, the Mother of God, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

The Proto-Gospel of James, a kind of "Gospel Before the Gospels," was one of the most influential non-canonical writings throughout the Middle Ages. The narrative does not focus on the life of Jesus but on the supernatural birth, young life, betrothal, and pregnancy of his mother Mary. From this Gospel come many traditions that remain important in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions (Joseph was an old many; Mary was a perpetual virgin; Jesus' "brothers" were sons of Joseph from a previous marriage); and the accounts it presents -- the miraculous birth of Mary, her upbringing in the temple, the details of her giving birth, and, well, a postpartum inspection to make sure she was a virgin -- are fascinating to readers of any religious or non-religious persuasion. But what's it really all about? In this special episode, Bart interviews an expert on the Proto-Gospel, Christopher Frilingos, Professor at Michigan State University, in order to find out.
