Mother of Jesus, according to the Christian New Testament

When we start the second article of the Apostles' Creed with I believe in Jesus Christ, what does that mean? Luther tells us that this means that we believe that Jesus is true God, begotten of the Father in eternity and also a true human being, born of a virgin Mary, is our lord. The faith claim is that Jesus was God's son, born out of miracle. Although we may be ‘distracted' by the questions surrounding virgin birth, we should also focus on the belief that Jesus is Lord. Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 1, verses 26 - 35, and our New Testament Lesson comes from Colossians Chapter 1, verses 15 - 19a. Carolyn Winfrey Gillette provides a restated creed: I believe in God the Father, the Almighty God above, Maker of the earth and heaven which were formed in God's great love. And in Jesus, loving Jesus, God's own Son, who makes us new. This the creed of generations, is the faith for our church too. Jesus by God's Holy Spirit was so wondrously conceived, Born unto the Virgin Mary, who your promises believed. Jesus suffering under Pilate, on a cross was crucified. Soldiers mocked hi, friends denied him; he hung there until he died. So it was, our Lord was buried, in a borrowed tomb he lay. To the dead he then descended, where was joy on earth that day? There's more to God's great story: In three days he rose again. He ascended into heaven and he sits at God's right hand. I believe what God has promised: Christ will come as he has said. He will judge the nations' peoples, both the living and the dead. I believe God's Holy Spirit makes the church one family. We're surrounded by God's people, saints who in our Lord believe. I believe that God forgives us for the times we turn away, And that God will raise our bodies on that resurrection day. We rejoice that we'll live forever, singing praise to God's great name. This the creed of generations is the faith that we proclaim.
As Andy Burnham prepares to become the UK's new Prime Minister we look at how his Catholic upbringing shaped the values behind his politics. William Crawley discusses the interplay of faith and politics with Nick Spencer, senior fellow with the think tank Theos, and Francis Davis, visiting fellow Kellogg college, Oxford, who has written widely on Catholic social teaching and the role of faith in public policy.Artificial intelligence is quietly finding its way into church life. But is it always clear when a prayer, a sermon or a piece of pastoral advice has been shaped by a machine? The AI Christian Partnership want churches to be upfront about it, and they've just published new guidelines. Plus, it's World Cup final day, and this year's showdown carries an extra layer of meaning for people of faith. Argentina and Spain don't just share a footballing rivalry, they also share the Virgin Mary, in different guises. What does this tell us about faith and national identity?

Part of the Apostles' Creed: I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. 1 Peter 4:5-6 NIV 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 20-26, 58 NIV Holy Saturday The Gospel is heard by all Don't assume God is not working Resurrection changes everything Our labor is not in vain
A church in Texas where thousands looked into the sky in 1988. A theory that time moves towards rupture. A machine beneath Europe that became, for some, a symbol of a universe disturbed. And ordinary people, scattered across the internet, trying to explain why their lives feel as though they continued after something else ended.Perhaps nothing happened. Perhaps the feeling is memory, grief, fear, nostalgia, or the strange dislocation of living through years that change too quickly.But for those who believe they remember the other world, the question remains. If reality did shift, would we know? Or would we simply wake the next morning, make a cup of tea, answer our messages, go to work, and spend the rest of our lives wondering why home no longer feels like home?The BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/comments/1ie4jey/the_1988_anomoly/https://www.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/18lgtui/it_was_saturday_august_13_1988_and_ive_never_been/https://www.upi.com/Archives/1988/08/16/Pilgrims-say-they-saw-visions-of-Virgin-Mary/8186587707200/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-04-10-mn-1686-story.htmlhttps://home.cern/science/accelerators/large-hadron-collider/https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/first-beam-lhc-accelerating-sciencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKennahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenonhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/18cimeh/if_the_world_did_end_is_it_possible_that_it/https://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/jxfypw/everything_changed_in_20122015/https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/exfkue/i_died_in_an_alternate_universe/https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/p5snd7/i_think_i_may_have_died_in_a_car_accident_in_an/https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelUniverse/comments/1fctsf8/constantly_wanting_to_go_home/Sarah xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

In 1917, three children in Fatima, Portugal claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary. They promised she would perform a miracle on a certain day in October. Nearly 100,000 pilgrims arrived, hoping to see whatever happened, and nearly all report that the sun turned pale, changed color, and spun around. Many other writers have investigated the children and their visions, but I was fixated on this sun miracle. Despite popular discussion of "mass hallucinations", this is AFAICT the only example of tens thousands of people all saying they witnessed the same impossible thing, at the same time. I got kind of obsessed with this; you can read my preliminary investigations in this, this, and this post. One of the first things I found was that there were many other sun miracles - at least ten! - similar to Fatima. Most were associated with Marian apparitions, but one was at a Buddhist temple. Bigfoot only gets sighted by lone hikers; ghosts are only ever in the corner of your eye; UFOs are just blurs in the sky. Of all the countries and outposts in the vast empire of the unexplained, it's only this one phenomenon - the spinning, multicolored sun - that regularly gets seen by thousands of people at once, in broad daylight. Speaking of "regularly", there's one spot where it continues even today. Fifty years ago, the Virgin Mary appeared to six children in Medjugorje, Bosnia. Now those children are well past middle-age, but she continues to come. Three of them report that she's appeared less frequently as the years go by, but the others still see her every day at 6:40 sharp. Travelers to Medjugorje, especially those passing through around 6:40, report a slew of miracles, including the spinning sun. Certainly this is true of those whose hearts are pure. But even the atheists get lucky sometimes. I was shocked never to have heard about this before. There's a place you can just go, and have a decent chance of seeing a real miracle? People take vacations to the Bahamas for the beaches, when they could go instead to Medjugorje and see the natural law of the universe get violated in real time? Seems crazy! So in early April, I and my extremely-accommodating, long-suffering wife flew to Dubrovnik, rented a car, and drove down a series of windy mountain roads toward the Bosnian border, hoping for a miracle. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/waiting-for-the-miracle
A loyalist bonfire in Moygashel, Co. Tyrone has sparked outrage after a mock-up mosque was placed on top with the slogan “secure our borders, end the threat of radical Islam” — and it was set alight early when police moved to remove it.Adrian and Jeremy ask: is this pure sectarian, hate-filled carry on… or “just a bonfire” making a political point?One gay listener says he struggles to feel sympathy because of Islam's attitude to LGBTQ people, while others rip into the hypocrisy of “patriots” down south cheering on the same loyalists who burn tricolours, the Pope and the Virgin Mary.

Discover Donglu, China, where the Virgin Mary appeared during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. This miraculous site, now a poignant shrine, honours Mary as Queen of China, protecting the faithful through her enduring, powerful intercession.
The shrine's roots trace back to an apparition of the Blessed Mother, who appeared to a local farmer. The name Manaoag is derived from the word meaning "to call," as the Virgin Mary reportedly called out to the farmer, requesting a place where her children could visit and pray.
Part 6- This is the sixth installment of my 1st book "The Constant Procession." PRODUCER NOTE: The Opening twenty seconds of this episode accidently repeats the first introduction!

July 2, 2026Today's Reading: Luke 1:39-45 (46-56)Daily Lectionary: Joshua 7:1-26; Acts 10:34-48“‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” (Luke 1:42b)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Saint Elizabeth was blessed. Her young relative from Nazareth had arrived at her home, and she was happy to see her. You can just see her in your mind, coming to the doorway, seeing Mary, and shrieking with excitement! The crazy thing is, the Blessed Virgin would not even be one month into pregnancy yet. She's not showing. But St. Elizabeth knows! And she knows Who is in the womb of her relative, since God has revealed that to her.Saint John the Baptizer was blessed. Today's world might dismiss him as merely a six-month-developed fetus. But that precious baby in his mother's womb was gifted by God also to know! St. John wasn't just kicking like babies normally do inside their mothers; he was leaping for joy at the presence of God! He was not able to use his voice yet to preach and point others to Christ, so he used movement to do the preaching. “Mom! Look! God is here!”The Virgin Mary is blessed. God, in His wisdom and grace, chose this girl to be the Mother of God-with-us. She was blessed to hear the Word of God through the Angel Gabriel, and through faith to believe it. Then she was blessed to actually carry God in her womb! Nine precious months with the Creator inside a creature, the Nourisher and Sustainer of all being nourished and sustained by His mother.All of these saints are blessed not from themselves, but from their connection to THE Blessed One. Take some time to go through the Psalms. Did you ever notice how many times it talks about the Blessed Man? It's not David bragging about how good he is. It's not even praising some prophet or other man. It's all about Jesus! Christ is THE Blessed One. And through His holy life, innocent death, and glorious resurrection, He gives that blessedness to you and all His Church.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior. For He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden. For behold from this day all generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One has done great things to me, and holy is His name; and His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent empty away. He has helped His servant Israel in remembrance of His mercy as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His seed forever. (LSB 248)Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.
According to legend, in the 12th century, the Virgin Mary appeared to King William II of Sicily while he was napping and ordered him to build a church on a hill just 7km south of Palermo, Italy. The result is one of the greatest churches of the Middle Ages - Monreale Cathedral. Next to the majestic church, whose interior contains Italy's largest mosaic, is an exotic cloister that was clearly influenced by Islamic architecture.
A note about the work "The Death" from Mary Jo Bang: “The Death” is from The Museum of Mary, a book-length series of ekphrastic poems where each poem has a debt to a woman named Mary. My approach here, as with all the poems in the series, was to find an artwork that featured a Mary and use that as a stage setting from which a speaker could address any number of concerns. In this poem, the Virgin Mary, as the ever-watchful guardian religion says she is, speaks about the present-day world. It is believed that the original composition of the painting linked to this poem, Mantegna's Death of the Virgin, included a second painting that was meant to hang above the first; they share the lines of a continuous architectural arch. It is in that second painting, Christ Bearing the Soul of the Virgin, that Christ holds a doll-sized statuette of the Virgin on his lap. The two are wreathed in a cloud punctuated by the heads and wings of red cherubs. The lower painting features Mary at her death, surrounded by eleven of the twelve apostles (one is away preaching). As with all persona poems, the hope is that the speaker, here a divine Mary, will have more authority than a mere poet when it comes to bringing attention to our human plight.
Part 5- This podcast drop continues with how the Voyages of Columbus are attributed to the Black Madonna and the Queen of Spain. Also Cortez's illegal voyage within the New World and the story of the City of Gold. There are links, photos and more about this on my website. I continue to work on self-publishing my 3rd book and I am now approving, rejecting and where necessary, clarifying the editor's "line edit" suggestions.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Saturday, June 13, the day after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us of purity, love, and devotion. It symbolizes Mary's unwavering faith, compassion, and deep connection to God's will.Her heart, untouched by sin, is a model of holiness for all.Through her heart, we find a perfect reflection of God's mercy and grace, guiding us toward a deeper relationship. We seek Mary's intercession to live with love and humility and grow closer to Christ Our Savior.The feast was established in 1944, in the midst of World War II, by Pope Pius XII, who consecrated the world and placed it under the special protection of the Virgin Mary.Pius XII's Decree of May 4, 1944. asked her intercession to obtain "peace among nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, the love of purity and the practice of virtue."But the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary wasn't new.Christians were early attracted by the love and virtues of the Heart of Mary.Simeon's prophecy that Mary's heart would be pierced with a sword paved the way for this devotion. Moreover, Mary was not passive at the foot of the Cross; "she cooperated through charity," as St. Augustine says, "in the work of our redemption."The meditations on the Ave Maria and the Salve Regina date back to the Eleventh century.In the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes preached it together with that of the Sacred Heart.In 1830, during the revelation of the "miraculous medal," the Virgin Mary showed to Catherine Laboure the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus united.In the nineteenth century, Pius VII and Pius IX allowed several churches to celebrate a feast of the Pure Heart of Mary.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Hello!*This episode was first released on April 10th 2024*Deep in a mountain in the Pontic Alps, North-East Turkey, there's a monastery reminiscent of Tolkien's Minas Tirith; the seven-walled fortress city built on the spur of a mountain. Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) and facing a beautiful wooded mountain valley is Panayia Soumela Greek Orthodox monastery, dedicated to Virgin Mary. This is the heartland of the Pontic Greeks. And my journey today begun from a church with the same name, near my home town of Veria, in Northern Greece, 1800 Km away from Trabzon, deep in a forested mountain on a similar altitude...The Pontic Greeks lived in the region of northern Turkey roughly in the areas of Trabzon, Samsun and Gerishun, Sinop for about 2 millennia before their forced expulsion and genocide.But their food and culture remains still alive luckily for us, and even their unique Greek language which traces its lineage to ancient Greek!So what did they eat? How they cooked their foods? And how does their cuisine differ from other Greeks, and the similarities with other Black Sea nations around...Some spectacular videos of Panagia Soumela Monastery and countryside in Trabzon region mountains:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQb3UJVvbmMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynLcqCxCh0sFor traditional Pontic produce in Greece today go to Thessaloniki and find this guy:http://ragian.gr/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4Google map link for the Thessaloniki shop:https://maps.app.goo.gl/QJGjFiEBW4YN7W369The farm were they age cheeses in caves, smoke their own meats and produce their pasta:https://maps.app.goo.gl/yVQHg9HVdGDcEyWdAMore information about history and culture of Pontic Greeks:https://pontosworld.com/index.phpAnd the Guardian article that inspired me to do this episode today:https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/apr/03/endangered-greek-dialect-living-bridge-ancient-world-romeykaWith music from Pavlos KapralosEnjoy!Support the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes! https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Was the Virgin Mary sinless? While the Western debate often pits Catholic dogma against Protestant literalism, the ancient Christian East offers a completely different paradigm. In this episode, we explore how the Eastern Church Fathers view Mary's unique holiness without the Western legal concepts of merit and original sin, and how the theology of the Dormition proves she still required Christ as her Savior.=============Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/All the links:The Theological Letters Substack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastX: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nathanandrewjacobsAcademia: https://cabasilasinstitute.academia.edu/NathanJacobsListen and please review the podcast elsewhere:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSRelated Episodes & Material Mentioned:Episode 30 The Virgin Mary Grinch Slayer: https://youtu.be/bTHlv06p9U8?si=43KLlOYXc2QjAVE4Episode 33: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Story Telling: https://youtu.be/H7X4Df-KEEc?si=7OV6N3SXStXia9fwTheological Letter on Mary: https://theologicalletters.com/p/on-mary-the-mother-of-god-1-of-2?utm_source=publication-searchFrederica Mathewes-Green: https://substack.com/@fredericamg/note/c-167315534
Construction on the church of Sant Maria dell'Ammiraglio in Palermo, Italy, began in 1143 CE under the patronage of George of Antioch, admiral of King Roger II's navy, from which the church gets its name. The church preserves an extraordinary collection of 12th-century mosaics, the two most important of which are "Christ Coronating King Roger II" and " George of Antioch at the Feet of the Virgin Mary." In later centuries, the church received various Baroque-style additions and decorations, and the nickname "La Martorana" from the nearby Benedictine nunnery.
St. Matthew explains the surprising ending to Jesus' genealogy by relating the circumstances surrounding Jesus' conception and birth. The Holy Spirit caused Jesus' conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary, but Joseph did not know this. In his Christian compassion, Joseph assumed that a quiet divorce of Mary was the correct course of action, but he was wrong. The Lord sent His angel to Joseph in a dream to instruct this faithful man to marry Mary and give her Child the name, “Jesus,” thus adopting Him. Through this, the Lord brought about the fulfillment of His promise from Isaiah 7, and our Savior from sins was born. Rev. Jacob Sipes, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in Washington, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 1:18-25. To learn more about Immanuel Lutheran, visit imlutheran.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Nate goes underground, Rue goes undercover, and Cassie goes under the covers!In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are breaking down Euphoria Season 3 Episode 7 “Rain or Shine,” (an all-timer!) the penultimate episode that finally delivered one of the season's biggest shocks and left us with approximately one million new questions. From Nate Jacobs' (Jacob Elordi) long-foreshadowed death (and whether it actually felt satisfying), to Rue (Zendaya) getting deeper into dangerous territory, to Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Maddy (Alexa Demie) turning into the most charismatic duo on television, this episode somehow managed to be heartbreaking, hilarious, stressful, and completely unhinged all at once. We're talking betrayal, bad decisions, sex scandals, secret safes, Western shootout energy, and why Lexi (Maude Apatow) might secretly be speaking for the entire audience this season.Plus, we're ranking our Top 5 Betrayal Triangles of the episode, including Rue vs. literally everyone, Cassie and Maddy's Hollywood revenge plot, Alamo's secret in the safe, and whether Sam Levinson (or scheduling) betrayed Nate Jacobs' storyline this season.00:00:00 Reenactment Maddy calls Lexi00:02:45 Nate Jacobs death00:06:45 Nate Jacobs craziest moments00:10:32 Nate Jacobs sexuality00:12:06 Should Nate have died earlier?00:14:32 Live on YouTube for finale00:16:04 "Rain or Shine" meaning00:18:16 S3 E7 "Rain or Shine" Recap00:19:24 Ali's backstory00:26:33 Tarantino of the week00:27:28 Did Maddy sleep with Alamo?00:29:49 Top 5 Betrayal Triangles00:30:17 Cassie/Maddy vs Dylan Reid vs Sharon Stone00:32:45 Gratuitous Sydney Sweeney Nudity of the Week00:38:22 Rue vs Lexi vs Maddy00:41:12 Alamo vs Maddy/Cassie vs Naz00:45:44 Rue vs Alamo/Laurie vs Faye/Wayne00:48:04 Undercover Informant Theory of the Week00:50:36 Rue's in trouble00:53:43 Gold Rush Medical00:55:45 Nate Jacobs vs Naz vs Sam Levinson/Jacob Elordi's schedule01:03:49 Nate Jacobs dead body01:05:58 Tyler's Takes01:06:33 Jules called Rue01:07:32 The Candy Snatchers (1973) buried alive01:08:47 Maddy's Virgin Mary dress01:09:31 Zendaya is good01:10:41 Should Euphoria be binged?01:12:02 Prediction of deathsThank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

The Upper Room Mystery: Unlocking Mary's Hidden Role at Pentecost. If the Holy Spirit had already overshadowed Mary at the Annunciation, why did she need to be there for Pentecost? This week, we go beyond the surface of Acts 2 to explore the breathtaking theological reality of the Virgin Mary's relationship with the Holy Spirit. We trace the scriptural threads from Genesis to the Upper Room to reveal how Mary acts as the bridge between Christ and the Church.

Key Topics Covered: The Spouse of the Spirit: Understanding the unique, unrepeatable bond between Mary and the Third Person of the Trinity. The Mother of the Church: How Mary's maternal role shifted on the day of Pentecost.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruth Institute sits down with Catholic philosopher and bestselling author Dr. Carrie Gress to discuss her powerful new book, Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity (Sophia Institute Press, 2026). SPECIAL LINK: Ruth Institute – Recovering from Feminism (FREE Resource): https://ruthinstitute.org/recovering-from-feminism/ Dr. Gress and Dr. Morse explore how feminism functions as a "shadow church" — mimicking Christianity's structure while replacing faith, hope, and love with contempt, rage, and envy. They trace the movement's occult roots, its Marxist DNA, its manipulation of women's emotions going back to the 1890s, and why corporate America has always been its silent ally. Topics covered: — Why feminism and Christianity have fundamentally incompatible DNA — The shadow church model: contempt, rage & envy vs. faith, hope & love — The occult involvement of early suffragette leaders (Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Victoria Woodhull) — Feminism's Marxist roots and the "perpetual enemy" strategy — Why corporate America loves feminism — John Paul II and the "Catholic feminism" trap — The Virgin Mary as the true model of womanhood — Dr. Hannah Spier's work on feminist psychology and self-destructive life scripts

Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins sit down together for the first time in over a year for a wide-ranging conversation about the unsolved 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik in Baltimore, Maryland. Known to millions through the Netflix documentary The Keepers, Gemma has spent more than a decade investigating what happened to Sister Cathy, the young School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School. She was found dead two months after her disappearance. This episode is a Q&A, recorded live with questions submitted by listeners through the show's Facebook community.The Investigation: Timeline Questions and New DoubtsListeners asked about the timeline of the night Sister Cathy Cesnik disappeared on November 7, 1969. Father Gerard Koob, who was in a relationship with Sister Cathy, claims he called the police at 11:30 PM after arriving at her apartment. The police report says the call came at 1:30 AM, a two-hour gap that remains unexplained. Koob says he and Father Peter McKeon found Cathy's car around 3:30 AM during a walk, but the police report credits McKeon alone with the discovery.Gemma corrects a long-standing detail from The Keepers: the car was not found directly across the street from Cathy's apartment at Carriage House. It was actually found one court up the street, on Carriage Court, around a curve and out of direct line of sight from Lantern Court. She also confirms that the image of Sister Cathy's car shown in The Keepers was digitally placed into the scene by producer Jessica Hargrave as a visual aid. The steering wheel appears on the wrong side because the original police impound photo was flipped to match the camera angle.Shane and Gemma discuss the suspicious letter Father Koob claims Cathy wrote to him, a handwritten love letter dated 12:30 AM on the Monday before she disappeared. The letter was found in the morgue notes rather than the detective's case file. Shane points out this means it was likely turned over after Cathy's body was found in January 1970, not when she first went missing. A profiler formerly with Scotland Yard analyzed the letter's content and concluded it was not written by Sister Cathy. Koob did not pass his second polygraph examination.They also examine a separate letter Cathy wrote to her sister Marilyn, postmarked after the disappearance, which was admitted into evidence with the Baltimore County Police but has since gone missing. Shane raises the question of whether Father Koob could have written the letter to Marilyn as well, noting the parallels to the other letter and the movie ticket alibi.New Evidence: The Mary Statue at St. Clement'sGemma shares a story that has not been widely reported. Approximately two years ago, Eva Nelson, a publicly identified survivor of Father Joseph Maskell's abuse, told investigators she remembered watching Maskell bury something in the backyard of the St. Clement's rectory in Lansdowne. Police obtained permission from the current property owner and brought in ground-penetrating sonar equipment. Detective Josh Battaglia, the current investigator on Sister Cathy Cesnik's case, was present at the dig.After two visits and multiple excavations, they found a broken statue of the Virgin Mary buried beneath a large bush that had once been small when Eva was a child. Eva recognized the statue immediately. A nun at St. Clement's had given it to her for protection, telling her, "Mary will always protect you." Father Maskell found the statue, broke it in front of Eva, and forced her to watch him bury it. The discovery validates Eva's memory of events that took place decades ago.Historical ContextSister Catherine Ann Cesnik was a 26-year-old School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore.

When we show devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we fulfill her prophecy that “all generations will call me blessed.” The Catechism clearly shows us how such devotion does not compete with devotion to God, but in fact fosters adoration of God. Fr. Mike declares that the better we know Mary, the better we know Jesus, and the more we love Mary, the more we love Jesus. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 971-975. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

What does the Catholic Church do when someone claims the Virgin Mary is appearing to them? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists explain how the Church investigates reported apparitions and discerns whether they are authentic. The conversation also explores why Jewish Bibles do not include Maccabees despite the importance of Hanukkah, why Catholics believe Jesus has two natures, and how to better understand St. John Henry Newman's famous quote about history and Catholicism. Additional questions cover biblical support for confession and Communion obligations, who Jesus was referring to when He said “Father, forgive them,” how Catholics recognize ex cathedra teachings, and when the Eucharist becomes the Body and Blood of Christ. The episode concludes with advice for non-Catholics discerning whether the Catholic Church is true. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish!

Where can I find a woman like...Dante's girl? On this episode of Young Heretics, we finally get the high-fallutin' invocation of the Muses we've come to expect from any epic poem. But it's not enough! Dante needs more woman than the Muses can be...more grace, more truth, more light. And it comes from on high--first from the Virgin Mary, then Sainty Lucy, then finally his beautiful, his famous, his beloved Beatrice. Today we introduce this central figure in the Comedy, inspiration of Dante's career and "lady of his mind." We'll talk about the Muses, memory, and the communion of saints. And hopefully by the end, we'll see how much courtly love meant to the poets of this age--and how much, perhaps, it can mean to us.
