Hi everyone,
At World Youth Day in 2013, Pope Francis prayed, “Dear friends, we have come to knock at the door of Mary’s house. She has opened it for us, she has let us in and she shows us her Son. Now she asks us to “do whatever he tells you” (Jn 2:5). Yes, Mother, we are committed to doing whatever Jesus tells us! And we will do it with hope, trusting in God’s surprises and full of joy. Amen.”
Watch this short video to see how Mary was chosen to be the Mother of God and our eternal mother. As you watch, reflect on how Mary is with you today.
Questions:
- Why should we call Mary the Mother of God?
- What does the teaching of the Immaculate Conception tell us about Mary?
- What can we learn from Mary’s “yes” at the Annunciation? How can you say “yes” to God?
After watching, reply with your thoughts, or ask any questions you have! We'd love to answer them!
Mary, our Mother and Mother of our Lord, pray for us!
Peace,
Camilla
