Glimpses of Mary
Scriptural Sources of Marian Theology & Devotion
Presented by Jon Stotts
Sunday, December 8
What do the Gospels tell us about Mary? In this session, we’ll journey through each of the four Gospels, examining how they portray Mary’s role in salvation history. From Matthew’s genealogy to John’s powerful depiction of Mary at the foot of the cross, we’ll uncover the foundations of Marian theology and its connection to Scripture. Whether you’re new to this topic or looking for a deeper dive, join us to explore Mary’s profound presence in the story of our faith!
--
Catholics encounter Mary in the midst of a complicated array of feast days, titles, dogmas, apparitions, prayers, religious artwork, flowery language, private revelations, and pious traditions. Somewhere, in all this, is a young 1st century Jewish peasant who yearned for God with her whole being. How do we relate to her? What role should she play in our faith lives? This Advent series, facilitated by Jon Stotts, will explore what helps -- and what hinders -- our approach to the mother of Jesus. All are welcome.
