| | 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. | | | The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God. | | | Mary reminded him of her vow of virginity, and in his embarrassment the high priest consulted the Lord. |

| | Mary (Miriam) is mentioned by name in each of the Gospels except the Gospel of John. | | | Mary, they point out, is not in herself divine, and has only such powers to help as are granted to her by God in response to her prayers. | | | The Gospel of Matthew describes Mary as a virgin who fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. |

| | Virgin Mary is the Mother of Jesus, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the favored daughter of the Father... | | | We call her "Virgin Mary" because she is the only person in the Bible called "Virgin"... | | | The prophecy just mentioned, has been fulfilled in the last 2,000 years: Virgin Mary is the women in the history who has had more poems dedicated to her, to call Her blessed with the poetry... |

| | The Blessed |
| | The Virgin Mary was summoning the people to prayer and foretold the forthcoming conversion of Russia from godlessness to faith in God. | | | In prayers the Virgin Mary is called Theotokos, which in Greek means the Mother of God, since the One Who was born from Her was at the time of conception and always will be the true God. | | | With all this reverence for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Theotokos, it is consoling and enlightening to learn how she lived, how she prepared herself, and how she blossomed to such a spiritual height as to become the receptacle for the incarnate Word of God. |

| | virgin |
| | Virgin Mary was a virgin before, during, and perpetually after the birth of Christ (Ante partum, in partu, post partum), a belief also re-asserted during the first decades of the Protestant reformation. | | | Not only was Mary the mother of him who is born [in Bethlehem], but of him who, before the world, was eternally born of the Father, from a Mother in time and at the same time man and God. | | | Mary's question (Luke 1:34), the angel's answer (Luke 1:35, 37), Joseph's way of behaving in his doubt (Matthew 1:19-25), Christ's words addressed to the Jews (John 8:19) show that Mary retained her virginity during the conception of her Divine Son. |

| | Mary: Ever Virgin |
| | The gravity of his responsibility as the guardian of a virgin was indicated by the fact that, when she was discovered to be with child, he had to answer to the Temple authorities, who thought him guilty of defiling a virgin of the Lord. | | | The faithful knew, through the witness of Scripture and Tradition, that Jesus was Mary’s only child and that she remained a lifelong virgin. | | | Today most Protestants are unaware of these early beliefs regarding Mary’s virginity and the proper interpretation of "the brethren of the Lord." And yet, the Protestant Reformers themselves—Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli—honored the perpetual virginity of Mary and recognized it as the teaching of the Bible, as have other, more modern Protestants. |

| | Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. | | | The belief that Mary’s body was assumed into heaven is one of the oldest traditions of the Catholic Church. | | | She was also with the disciples in the days before the Pentecost, and it is believed that she was present at the resurrection and Ascension. |

| | CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH |
| | To this we must respond: Faith in the virginal conception of Jesus met with the lively opposition, mockery or incomprehension of non-believers, Jews and pagans alike;[151] so it could hardly have been motivated by pagan mythology or by some adaptation to the ideas of the age. | | | 501 Jesus is Mary's only son, but her spiritual motherhood extends to all men whom indeed he came to save: "The Son whom she brought forth is he whom God placed as the first-born among many brethren, that is, the faithful in whose generation and formation she co-operates with a mother's love."[160] | | | 510 Mary "remained a virgin in conceiving her Son, a virgin in giving birth to him, a virgin in carrying him, a virgin in nursing him at her breast, always a virgin" (St. Augustine, Serm. |

| | To sum up, Mary was the Divinely chosen woman to be the channel for the incarnation in flesh of the second person of the Holy and Divine Trinity, God the Son. | | | Twilight is a fair and truthful representation of the teachings of the Papal Church concerning the Virgin Mary. | | | Why, sir, the books of devotion which are sanctioned by the Papal church, contain, in regard to Mary’s power and glory, the honour which is due to her, and the miracles she is said to have performed, a mass of absurdity, falsehood and blasphemy, almost incredible. |

| | The Creeds say that Christ was "born of the virgin Mary." That is to say, they assert on the one hand that he was truly and fully human, born of a woman and not descended from the skies like an angel. | | | Little is known of the life of the Virgin Mary except insofar as it intersects with the life of her Son, and there is an appropriateness in this. | | | The honor paid to Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus Christ our Lord and God, goes back to the earliest days of the Church. |

But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. | | | When they arrived in Bethlehem, the Virgin gave birth to her first born child and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and put him in a manger, for they did not have a place for them in the inn. |

| | I hope that by sharing this vision of the Virgin Mary and Saints it will help others to find a new born faith and belief in all that is of love and God. | | | However, seeing an "image" of the Virgin Mary in a random design pattern is not the same as seeing an apparition of the Virgin Mary where she appears, often delivering messages or instructions in prayer, devotion or other directives. | | | In such cases as seeing faces of the Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ in random patters, this is an exercise of the imagination, a fantasy. |
