Why do Catholics honor Mary as Mother of God?
Simple: Jesus is the son of Mary. Jesus is God. Therefore, Mary is the Mother of God.
On this holy feast day, we take a moment as we start our new year to honor our Blessed Mother, who in her “yes” to God brought our Savior into the world to redeem us.
Lost & Found Tip: Jesus says on the cross, “Behold your Mother.” As we all jump into the frenzy of the new year and start attempting to bring our resolutions to fruition, let us call on the aid of our Mother Mary to give us the strength to draw closer to her Son every day this year.
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
