  • Holy Cross C a T H O L I C C HURCH
    August 16, 2020 • 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Holy Cross C A T H O L I C C HURCH 4810 Woolworth Avenue • Omaha, NE 68106 Rectory 4803 William Street www.holycrossomaha.org All-powerful and ever-living God, You raised the sinless Virgin Mary, Mother of your Son, body and soul to the glory of Heaven. May we see Heaven as our final goal and come to share her glory. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Question: Why does Mary have so many feast days and names? Answer: Christians first began celebrating feast days in honor of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in the fifth century. That celebration (originally called the Feast of the Dormition and now known by Roman Catholics as the Solemnity of the Assumption) was celebrated on August 15. Very soon, however, other special days dedicated to Mary began to appear in Jerusalem, Rome, and other major cities of the Christian world. These days of feasting became important parts of the life of the community. But, more importantly, each of these unique celebrations became an opportunity to focus on a different facet of the Christian faith, as believers focused their attention on specific events or mysteries of the lives of Mary and her Son. Over the centuries, some of these celebrations became universal (such as the Assumption on Au- gust 15, the Immaculate Conception on December 8, and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on January 1).

  • Blessed Virgin Mary St
    Blessed Virgin Mary St. Thomas Church RCIA Mary and Jesus • Mary was called to become the mother of Jesus. • Special bond between Mary and Jesus. • She was predestined for this honor. • Foreshadowing in the Old Testament: • Disobedience of Eve • Sarah, mother of Isaac • Hannah, mother of Samuel • “The Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Emmanuel” (Is 7:14). Sinless Virgin Mary • She was conceived without sin in order to prepare her for her role. • The Archangel Gabriel addressed her “full of grace.” • Proclamation in 1854. • Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. • Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but he had not yet taken her into his home. Common Objections The most common objections you will hear: 1. Catholics worship the Mary. 2. If she was conceived without sin, then she didn’t need to be saved. 3. Mary can’t be ever-virgin if Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary as Virgin and Mother • Mary was the first to believe when she consented to God’s plan. • She is the Mother of Jesus and therefore Mother of God (Ephesus, 431). • She was a faithful disciple, standing at the foot of the cross. • From the cross, she became the Mother of the Beloved Disciple and the Mother of the Church. • As ever-virgin, her entire life was an undivided gift to God. • Being virgin and mother is a fundamental mystery of Mary’s life. Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary • The Rosary is made up of beads on which are said prayers like the Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Hail Holy Queen.

  • The Marian Library Newsletter: Vol. 15, No. 3
    ;IC(('} 1./f 3,3 ,..d-....7-~~/ UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON i MARIAN LIBRARY DAYTON 9, OHIO Volume XV - Number 3 F ebruory, 1960 Classifying Marian Bn:,ks Frequently during the past year, the Mari&.t Library has received requests for a classification scheme for books relative to our Lady. This issue of the Newsletter is thus devoted to a revision of a schedule published by the former Marian Librarian, Brother Stanley Mathews, s. M. If your library has added many volumes on Mary, the following scheme, a simplified version of the clasr-lification used in the Marian Library at the University of Da \ton, may be of help. Adopting such a plan will doubtless ent:: il a certain amount of recataloguing and reclassification, but the important point is that in this Age of Mary, the Marian section of a library should continue to grow; the longer the job of reclassification is put off, the more involved it will be. Unless some revisic n is carried out, the Marian collection becomes less and less f, :nctional as it grows.· The scheme can be used in detail only by I braries with sizeable Marian collections, but is adaptable to smaller ones. Libraries may not wish to use some of the suggestions (e.g., .38--Biographies of devotees of Mary--because such a plan breaks up their biography collection); however, adaptations can easily be made as needed. The most effective way to install this cla:;sification program is to choose one free number in your present system, preferably the number nearest to the number for Christ which is available or can be made available with the least trouble.

  • Typology of Mary in the Writings of East Syriac Fathers
    Typology of Mary in the Writings of East Syriac Fathers William Toma Introduction Mary is to Christ as the moon is to the sun; she is the reflection of Christ. You can only stare at the sun for half a second, but you may gaze at the moon for the whole night; this analogy also applies to the intensity of Christ. He is overwhelming, but in His reflection, we can see, reflect, and meditate on Mary. All the Marian doctrine and titles are Christological in purpose. They were meant to draw our attention to Christ. This is the privilege of Mary as derived from her special relationship to Christ as a mother. She conceived Him by the power of the Holy Spirit and gave birth to him; hence, his flesh is from her flesh. I shall attempt to reflect on Mary's biblical role in the history of salvation by providing biblical types and titles of Mary found in the literary works of four Syriac fathers: Ephrem (4th century), Narsai (5th century), Gewargis Warda 1 (13th century) and Elia III 2 (12th century). Liturgical Veneration of the Blessed Virgin The Assyrian Church of the East holds Mary in esteemed honor amid the saints and venerates her remarkability through her devotions and memorials; however, she is never worshiped as some Christians have claimed. The Church has set three liturgical commemorative days of the Blessed Virgin in the liturgical year: 1) The Second Friday of Nativity is the first sanctoral commemoration cycle in the liturgical year.
