of Jesus, and since
Jesus is God, or theIncarnate Son of
God, then Mary can
be considered the
MOTHER OF GOD!

13/37
Theotokos: Biblical Sources
The bible tells us that
during the VISITATION of
Mary to her cousin
Elizabeth, Mary is
acclaimed by Elizabeth, at
the prompting of the
Spirit and even beforethe birth of her son, as
"the mother of my Lord".

14/37
LUKE 1:41-43
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb, and
Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said, "Mostblessed are you among women, and
blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me, that
the MOTHER OF MY LORD should come
to me?
7/29/2019 CCC Article 3, Paragraph 2 on Mary (4 Dogmas)
15/37
According to St. John Jesusis the Word made flesh, the
Word Who assumed
human nature in the wombof Mary. As Mary was truly
the mother of Jesus, and as
Jesus was truly God from
the first moment of His
conception, Mary is truly
the mother of God.

Theotokos: History

NESTORIANISM
Nestorianism teaches that in
Christ there was an
accidental union of a human
person and a divine person.
In this understanding, the
Word of God dwelt in Christ
as in a temple and that the
one who died on the cross
was Christ, not the Word of
God.
7/29/2019 CCC Article 3, Paragraph 2 on Mary (4 Dogmas)
19/37
NESTORIANISM
Consequently, Nestorius
strongly criticized the use
ofTheotokosto Mary in
that she could only be
called Christotokos. These
heretical views were
condemned in the Council
of Ephesus in 431.

From the first formulations
of her faith, the Church hasconfessed that Jesus was
conceived solely by the
power of the Holy Spirit inthe womb of the Virgin
Mary, affirming also the
corporeal aspect of this
event: Jesus was conceived
"by the Holy Spirit without
human seed".

Against this
doctrine the
objection issometimes
raised that the
Bible mentions
brothers and

mother and your brothers and your sisters are
outside asking for you."33 But he said to them in reply, "Who are my
mother and my brothers?"
34 And looking around at those seated in the circle
he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers.

and sister and mother."

The truth is The Church has always
understood these passages asnot referring to other childrenof the Virgin Mary. In fact
James and Joseph, "brothersof Jesus", are the sons ofanother Mary, a disciple ofChrist, whom St. Matthew
significantly calls "the otherMary". They are closerelations of Jesus: i.e. cousins,relatives, or kinsmen, etc.

CONCLUSION
In life we have to surrender completely to agracious and welcoming divine providence
because there is life after death. Mary, the saint of

with Christ. This is a heritage of a loving Mother
who only wants what is best for us. Her motherly
affection moves us to admire, contemplate andemulate her as we continue with our earthly
pilgrimage towards a personal and unutterably
