| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Virgin Mary |
| | Mary's Divine motherhood is based on the teaching of the Gospels, on the writings of the Fathers, and on the express definition of the Church. | | | Mary reminded him of her vow of virginity, and in his embarrassment the high priest consulted the Lord. | | | John Chrysostom is of opinion that Mary would have felt fear and trouble, unless the angel had explained the mystery of the Incarnation to her, and that she showed some vainglory at the marriage feast in Cana and on visiting her Son during His public life together with the brothers of the Lord. |

| | In the meantime the Mother of Jesus, in the glory which she possesses in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected in the world to come. | | | The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary. | | | 975 "We believe that the Holy Mother of God, the new Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven to exercise her maternal role on behalf of the members of Christ" (Paul VI, CPG § 15). |

| | From earliest times Mary’s intercession was believed to be especially efficacious on behalf of humankind and the church; since the Middle Ages, recitation of the rosary has been among the most popular expressions of Marian devotion. | | | The body of doctrine about Mary is called Mariology; Mariolatry is an opprobrious term used since the Reformation to mean the worship of Mary—a criticism leveled by many Protestants at the cult of Mary within the Roman Catholic Church. | | | Artistic representations of Mary are innumerable; for differing aspects, see Christian iconography under iconography. |

| | Mary, no doubt, played a role in the theological sophistication of John's gospel, since she lived with him for some time at Ephesus. | | | Fulgentius, Bishop of Ruspe in the sixth century, said, "Mary is the ladder of Heaven; for by her God descended from Heaven into the world, that by her men might ascend from earth to Heaven." | | | A good Baptist friend of mine says that everyone knows that Mary had other children after Jesus, but the word "brethren" in Aramaic (the language of the Hebrews after the Babylonian exile) refers to "cousins" as a general term, since there is no word for "brothers" in their language. |

| | Mary: "Full of Grace" |
| | The Fathers of the Church taught that Mary received a number of distinctive blessings in order to make her a more fitting mother for Christ and the prototypical Christian (follower of Christ). | | | "Consequently, then, Mary the Virgin is found to be obedient, saying, ‘Behold, O Lord, your handmaid; be it done to me according to your word.’ Eve, however, was disobedient, and, when yet a virgin, she did not obey. | | | What the virgin Eve had bound in unbelief, the Virgin Mary loosed through faith" (Against Heresies 3:22:24 [A.D. "The Lord then was manifestly coming to his own things, and was sustaining them by means of that creation that is supported by himself. |
