Mary

It's perhaps one of the biggest misunderstandings of the Catholic faith: Do Catholics worship Mary, the Mother of God? NO! Father Mark Baron, MIC, explains.

In this brand new talk on Mary, Fr. Chris Alar explains how she is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Foretold by the prophets, how do we show that Mary is the answer to the Biblical Promise of the Jews to the Christian reality of being the mother of Jesus, the Messiah. Watch this easy-to-understand presentation that shows many things you didn't know to understand who Mary was and her role in salvation history.

Sometimes when spiritual brokenness and physical brokenness coincide, something spectacular happens. That’s the amazing true story of radio personality Kevin Matthews, told in a new film, “Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story.” 

On Sept. 8, the Catholic Church celebrates the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God! This feast day is celebrated exactly nine months after the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8. Be sure to honor Our Lady and wish her a Happy Birthday as we look to her as our Spiritual Mother!

In what sense does the Blessed Virgin Mary’s soul magnify the Lord? Does this imply that Our Lady’s soul in some way overshadows God Himself? Father Kenneth Dos Santos, MIC, explains in his latest column for CatholicStand.com.

At the end of the month of Mary and the beginning of the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Chris Sparks shares a key insight from a recent family trip to Europe: The European Union flies the flag of Our Lady’s crown of 12 stars. 

Jesus gave us the Church and the Mother of the Church, Mary, to get us to Heaven. Let’s fill Mother's Day with thanksgiving and gratitude for our mothers, both biological and spiritual, says Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and also give thanks for the gift of Mary, our Spiritual Mother. Then hear the story of Voyage Comics, which publishes graphic novels about saints to guide young readers in the lessons of faith.

If all Marian devotion culminates in imitation of Mary, says Br. Jacob, MIC, then we could also say that all imitation of Mary culminates in imitating her standing at the foot of the Cross.

Join Br. Ruben Veloz, MIC as he shares with us the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe (feast day: Dec. 12), one of the most famous Marian Apparitions of all time - as well as one that still continues to this day with Our Lady's appearance on the tilma of St. Juan Diego (feast day: Dec. 9).

The Blessed Virgin Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth was a work of mercy and so much more! Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, discusses the many facets of this event and what it means for our faith. Then learn about the Gratia Plena Ministry and how they are helping teen girls to overcome the lies told them by the secular world.
