Understanding the Virgin Mary

In the rich tapestry of the New Testament, the figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary often stands quietly in the background, yet her presence is profound and pivotal. In a recent discussion, Dr. Scott Powell delves into Mary's role in the life of Jesus, offering insights that deepen our appreciation of her significance in the Christian faith.

While Mary may not speak extensively in the Scriptures, her actions and responses provide a model of faith, obedience, and maternal love. From her fiat - her willing acceptance of God's plan - to her steadfast presence at the foot of the cross, Mary exemplifies unwavering trust in God's will.

Dr. Powell emphasizes that understanding Mary's role is not about elevating her above her Son, but recognizing her unique participation in the divine plan of salvation. Her life invites believers to reflect on their own relationship with Christ, and to emulate her virtues of humility, courage, and devotion.
