The Second Reading from Mass for the The Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God

Показать описание
The Mother of God (often referred to as "Theotokos"), in the council of Ephesus, was a title given to Mary, of course, only after St. Matthew did so on the 1st page of the New Testament in his Gospel.

Often this title is misunderstood as somehow intimating that Mary is somehow greater or co-eternal with God. This is not what is being affirmed in this title, however. In fact, this title exists to secure the identity of Jesus as God and to illuminate a truth about his identity.

Wanna know what’s funny? A man can pursue and obtain a doctorate in theology. While doing so, he learns Ancient Greek, Latin, and an in-depth history of Christianity. Then after that he obtains the respect of his peers and reputable publishing companies. There is no doubt he’s debated numerous theologians, both Catholic and Protestant of similar educational backgrounds. He then uses this experience and knowledge to educate a “layman” like me in a passionate and interesting way with logic and easy to find references on YouTube.

Here’s the punchline: It only takes the Ark of the New Covenant, to set some of you Protestants off in your errors set forth in the early 16th Century. I can only imagine Dr. Pitre reading some of the comments you have and shaking his head with a wry little smile.

The name calling and the sources of ignorance are hilarious. Keep it up, guys.

The Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431AD confirmed the obvious in Luke 1:42, that, Mary is not merely " The Mother of Jesus", but, " The Mother of My LORD", hence, The Mother of GOD. THEOTOKOS

Thank you Dr. Pitre for preparing us for the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Catholics are easily drawn away from the Catholic Church, as I was, by our own ignorance and the ignorance of others outside the Church.

I am a proud Catholic but pls pray for me coz I'm tired of explaining my faith. First Christians who were martyred are Catholics, they died so we could After 2000 years, we are still persecuted....

Beautiful explanation of The Blessed Virgin Mother Mary. I wish, so much, that Saint Paul and the Apostles would have written about The Immaculate Virgin Mother of Christ! She, Herself, was conceived without sin. Her coming was prophesied by Elijah and In Genesis. From the failing of Adam and Eve, in the beginning, God already had plans to redeem us in Her bringing forth Christ.

Wow. You reference the images too! How great. I love the one of the angels with the instruments. The pictures during your lessons are so much appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful resource!

would talking taking it literally be too much to ask? Implying, I guess, a Moher/God? whom acts as "they" would in choosing a mortal human lesson to teach mankind. OK, God commanded, and was it ever a big one.

This was a tough one to understand. My stumbling block thinking Jesus' body has always existed. This video made me think His body was created when he was conceived.

Also, when we are in The Church we are in The Womb of Mary... where the Trinity is present(in The Mass)

Dr. Pitre, or anybody else for that matter - I'm a recent convert to Catholicism from being a non-denominational Protestant. Growing in my love for Our Lady as she helps bring me closer to Our Lord Jesus through the Holy Rosary. However, I get a little confused by the timeline situation with Jesus also being eternal with the Father and Holy Spirit before the beginning of time.. e.g. in John 1:1-3... That is, although I believe Mary is mother of Jesus as our Lord, I get confused by this as his divinity existed before his Human incarnation.. which meant he also existed before Mary did.. So my basic understanding struggles to grapple with understanding how she is father of the God part of Jesus.. not just his humanity... even though I know the God and Man part are inseparable.. i hope this makes

As stated even the KJV says that Our Blessed Virgin Mother, is mother of our Lord and My Saviour Jesus Christ.
