In this Women of Grace® video, we are going to enter into a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her highest and oldest of titles, Mother of God. We will learn how this title came to be, when it came to be, what the Church has said about Mary in this regard throughout the ages, and how we can increase our devotion to her under this title. It is a perfect topic to consider during this holy season of advent - a time of expectation and preparation for the birth of Christ.
Reflection: What does it mean for Mary to be the Mother of God? Why was she "Full of Grace"? How is Mary OUR spiritual mother? How does she teach us to magnify the Lord?
