We can only imagine how painful these events are for Mary. During her life, Mary, among other things, has had to cope with the experience of being an unwed mother, a refugee, a widow and single parent, and the mother of an innocent son who will be executed as a criminal. Meditating on the Mary as disciple of Jesus trials and tribulations of Mary should bring her closer to us.

  • Appendices 1 – 12
    APPENDICES 1 – 12 Religion Course of Study PreK-12 --- Diocese of Toledo --- 2018 Appendix 1: God’s Plan of Salvation -- A Summary (Used with permission, Diocese of Green Bay, WI) It is very important that before we dive into the religion Course of Study each year, we set the stage with an overview of God’s plan of salvation – the adventurous story of God’s unfailing love for us, his persistence in drawing us back to himself, and the characters along the way who succeed and fail in their quest for holiness. The context of the Story of Salvation will provide the proper foundation for the rest of your catechetical instruction. The Story can be taught as a one-day lesson, or a week long lesson. Each teacher must make a determination of how long they will take to present the Story to their students. It is important that the story be presented so that each of us can understand our place and purpose in the larger plan of God, as well as how the Church is central to God’s plan of salvation for the world. An overview of God’s plan is to be presented at the beginning of each year, and should be revisited periodically during the year as the subject matter or liturgical season warrants. Please make the presentation appropriate to the grade level. 1. God is a communion of Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three Persons in one God is the Blessed Trinity. God has no beginning and no end.

His most notable works regarding Marian devotions are contained in The Secret of Mary and the True Devotion to Mary.

  • Concepts of the Virgin Mary
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE IMAGES OF THE VIRGIN MARY HELD BY SELECT ANGLICAN WOMEN CLERICS IN KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA, WITH RESPECT TO SELECTED HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MARIOLOGY Submitted by SALLY INMAN-BAMBER (Student number: 203517785) In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN THEOLOGY (Catholic Theology) School of Religion Philosophy and Ethics University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg. Supervised by PROF S. RAKOCZY March 2012 ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines the question of Mariology in the Anglican Church in KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa. It focuses on how Anglican women priests relate to the Virgin Mary within the patriarchal structures and African context of the Anglican Diocese of Natal. It aims to ascertain the perceptions of the Virgin Mary held by a sample group of ordained, doctrinally informed, Anglican women. The premise is that because the Anglican Church is closer to Roman Catholicism than other Protestant churches, these clerics might be more open to the dogmas of Mariology as proclaimed by the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. The depths of the subjects‘ knowledge of Marian dogma are ascertained, as well as the extent to which their spirituality and devotions are affected by this. An attempt is made to establish the potential advantages of an enhanced Marian presence in The Anglican Church in KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa. This study is intended not merely to establish the dogmatic similarities in the Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions and underscore those issues which inhibit Marian veneration among local ordained Anglican women. Its intention is to elicit the effects of dogma on spirituality and worship, and to discern whether the subjects feel an affinity with Catholic Marian dogma and see any possibility of ecumenical progress between the two Churches.
