Because she was Jesus’ mother, she is deserving of our respect. Mary was given the highest honor possible when God chose her to be the mother of Jesus, his one and only son. God communicated with Mary through the angel Gabriel, telling her, ″Hail, Mary, full of grace!″ The Lord is with you at all times. Mary, you have gained God’s favor, therefore there is no need for you to be terrified.

Mary is said to be the first dwelling-place of God in the history of redemption, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 721–726, which may be seen online. Because of this, she is the crowning achievement of God and the beginning of God’s plan to bring all of humanity into fellowship with Jesus.

What do Catholics believe about Mary?

Last but not least, devout Catholics are adamant in their belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, never married.

Why is the Virgin Mary called the mother of God?

We, as members of the one and only authentic Church of Christ, the Catholic Church, pay our respects to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the mother of Jesus Christ. We refer to Mary as the Mother of God because she is in fact the mother of the one Divine Person known as Jesus Christ, who possesses both the divine and human natures. Because of this, we are able to name her the Mother of God.

Why do we celebrate the assumption of Mary?

In a sermon given in the eighth century on the subject of the Assumption of Mary, Saint John Damascene summed up this profound mystery as follows: Therefore, since we recognize the Virgin as being God’s Mother, we commemorate her.not by pronouncing her to be God—such pagan mythology has no place in our religion—but by acknowledging her to be the mother of the God who became flesh.To revere Mary is to acknowledge the redemptive purpose of our heavenly Father.
