Ave Maria!

Continuing his discourse on Old Testament prefigurements of Mary, Fra Joseph shows the many ways Mary is like the Ark of the Old Covenant, and how this gives biblical evidence for the Catholic Marian doctrines of the Immaculate Conception, Divine Maternity, Perpetual Virginity. Come watch this interesting video and see how Mary is the fulfilment of this most important of Old Testament symbols.

Ave Maria!

Homily #100101 ( 16min) Play – Solemnity of the Mother of God. Mary’s Divine Maternity is key to the beauty and wonder of this holy season of Christmas because it highlights the fact that Jesus is true God and true man, two natures united, yet remaining distinct, in one Divine Person. As such Mary is truely the Mother of God. Father explains how this central truth of the Incarnation has fought ancient paganism and pantheism and how it will be the main means to fight the modern forms of these errors, which Father calls Techno-Pantheism.

Homily #150101n ( 13min) Play – Father comments on the “mode of the Incarnation,” telling us that the second reading today, which contains the only reference to Our Lady in the writings of St. Paul, contains more food for meditation than it may at first seem. In particular, we can see three distinct truths in this short reading: that Mary is truly the Mother of God (while the Divine Word exists in eternity, it is truly God who is born of her, for She isn’t the mother of the human nature of Jesus, but of Jesus Himself), that Mary’s Motherhood is Virginal (Before, After, and During the birth of Jesus), and that She is the spiritual mother of us all (for She bore and birthed the “Whole Christ,” head and members). Let us be aware that Jesus comes to us through Mary, it is thanks to Her we can be united to God through Christ. Our Lady is not an obstacle which gets in the way, rather, She is the way God comes to us, and the way which we return to Him.

Ave Maria!

At the Symposium titled “Sursum Actio” at Notre Dame Univ. from Jun 8-9, 2015, in honor of the life work of Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, F.I.,  Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Professor of Systematic Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, gives the second conference which he titles, “Fehlner on Divine Maternity”. It is on the dogma that Mary is the Mother of God but more specifically she is the Predestined Mother of God, the Ever Virgin Mother of God, the Immaculate Mother of God and so the Mother of the Church in the order of grace and how these are all inter-connected with other Christological dogmas as is presented in the works of Fr. Peter Fehlner.

The talk is followed by a commentary by Fr. Peter and then a round table discussion with the other presenters.

This symposium, Sursum Actio (“Lift up your Actions” or more loosely “Lift up your Hearts”), was organized in honor of the life work of Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner after he won the Cardinal John J. Wright Marialogical Award of 2015 from the Mariological Society of America for his outstanding contributions to Mariology.

– CONF 303

The post Video – Dr. Fastiggi – Fehlner on Divine Maternity first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Saint Joseph had no reason to doubt Mary’s purity, but neither could he doubt her pregnancy. But when the angel came, he was able to understand the meaning of this sign: that Her Son was God. The Father of the Church tell us that if a virgin bore, it would be God; and if God were to become man, His mother would be a virgin. This sign shows God’s plan, His descent into our humanity, and His ultimate victory. We are called to participate both in the Joy of Bethlehem and the suffering of Calvary, in imitation of Mary’s total commitment to God’s will. Let us wait with Saint Joseph under this great sign of the Virgin Mother. Let us keep our eyes on this great sign, “deep as the netherworld” and “high as the sky”. It is still dark, but the Morning Star is with us, and day is coming soon.

Ave Maria!

Jesus is by nature both man and God, never separated into one or the other. Therefore, Mary is in truth both the Mother of Jesus and the Mother God.
