  1. Why is Mary considered Our Lady?

    What role does that relate between her, Christ and us?

  2. Mary according to Scripture

    Mary According to Scripture While some make out Mary to be a sort of goddess, if we ignore the myths about Mary and stick to scripture what we find is not particularly impressive, outside of having the honor of bearing the Son of God. In particular I note how Jesus spoke of her: While Jesus...

  3. Why worship Mary?

    Who came up with the idea that Mary (Jesus' mother) is queen of heaven, and that people should worship her? Why did that happen?

    Hello

    Hello I'm just here to introduce myself im Santino, a life-long Catholic looking to reach out and discuss topics with other Christians but I will not take part in any Catholic vs Protestant debates because that's not my thing and I don't think Christians should fight with eachother (John...

    Curiosity about the Birth of Jesus and Mary's life in particular

    I have been wondering about this, but what role does Mary actually play as far as Christmas goes? Hear me out, Christmas has become more or less too secular and even though it is about the Birth of Christ, and even though Mary was the young woman who was highly favored and impregnated by the...

  6. Did Mary consent to being impregnated?

    So tell me, did Mary get a say in being impregnated? Because sometimes that part of the story just reads like get gets told that she'll be getting pregnant now, and, well, sure, she does say later on, "Okay, let it be so," that part of her response seems pretty inconsequential given the fact...

    The Fifth Element is a foreshadowing of the Second Coming

    Is The Fifth Element a foreshadowing of the Second Coming? In The Fifth Element, The Ultimate Evil intents to destroy all life in the Universe and only The Fifth Element can stop it. The Fifth Element is a French Sci-fi movie from 1997. I found an interesting article from nearly a...

  8. MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB…

    MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB… Did you ever wonder where the Baby Jesus was before He arrived on Earth nearly 2000 years ago? He was there. He was a pre-existing spiritual Person of the Tri-Une God, The Godhead. There from eternity past. God's prophet Micah let us know: "..From you (Bethlehem), ONE...

  9. Pope-Ordered Coronation of Statues

    "The Roman Pontiffs, favoring such types of popular devotion, have often crowned, either in their own persons, or through representatives, images of the Virgin Mother of God which were already outstanding by reason of public veneration." This quote is from Pope Pius XII's proclamation making...

  10. How's your relationship with Mary?

    How Marian are you in your Catholicism? I'll give my testimony later in the thread if it happens to be a active thread. Do you walk with her, talk to her, venerate her and bless her or do you have a hard time embracing her as your mother? Please share your life with Mary with OBOB or for some...

  11. Meditation on the Magnificat and Nativity

    Hey folks. I was praying Vespers tonight and meditating on an Icon of the nativity and had some thoughts. I wrote them up and figured I'd share here. I pray some of you find it edifying, and if you find it heretical, let me know so I can be corrected of my errors! An Iconic Meditation on the...

  12. The Mother Of All.

    There is just no way to get around it, we all came from a mother. Science has not yet done away with the hosting and carrying an average fetus for nine months where a spiritual bond takes place between mother and child. Truly, Mom’s can claim “bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh”. Mother’s...

    Why Settle in the Expression theotokos?

    I want to know why the word is used so much to refer to what most other denominations would call the Virgin Mary. Theokos, yes, I understand all of the theology. But that's not what I want to know. It's more of a linguistic or language question. I want to know how that word became so popular it...

  14. Mary - Christian Prototype

    Close to the very heart of the Christian story is a woman. She is integrally involved in the birth of Jesus, in a way that leaves the rest of us wondering what it must be like to be so close. She is personally involved in the events at Calvary, and is one of a few people addressed personally...

  15. [moved] Trinity described

    In principle God created His Wisdom. To His Wisdom He gave a Face: the Theotokos In the Face and Body of the Theotokos He became Son. With this simple description one can understand how the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) is present inside the hypostatic Trinity. The liaison among all is due by the...

  16. Is there salvation in Mary?

    ”There is no one, O Most Holy Mary, who can know God except through thee; no one who can be saved or redeemed but through thee, O Mother of God; no one who can be delivered from dangers but through thee, O Virgin Mother; no one who obtains mercy but through thee, O Filled-With-All-Grace!”...

  17. Mary having congress with Joseph would have been a sin?

    Do Catholics believe this? I encountered some Catholics on another discussion forum who said that it would have been. Since the Bible describes marriage as sacred and having congress within it to be non-sinful-I don't get it.

  18. Did Mary have to be a Virgin for Jesus to have been the Christ?

    To me it would have made no difference since I consider the conception immaculate in either case. Perhaps it is the definition of what the word immaculate means to many. I was taught that immaculate conception in relation to Jesus meant that Adamic sin was not permitted to be part of his DNA. In...

  19. What is your opinion on the Virgin Mary?

    As for me, I'm officially a Protestant but was raised a Catholic but I see Mary as the greatest of the saints because she bore God in the person of Jesus Christ. She raised Him and suffered with Him at the cross.I believe it is not wrong to pray to Mary as long as we praise God in that prayer as...

  20. Marian Devotion Light

    This might be a bad title for the thread, because what I am about to discuss may in fact be very important to people's prayer lives and thus may not be "light" in the sense of a light beer or something that is less substantial. It may be just as substantial or more substantial. I was just...
