January 1 Is the Feast of the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God: Article: "How Can Mary Be the Mother of God?"

[mdgspencer]

Mary has been called the mother of God for thousands of years, since the early Church; the rosary prays “Holy Mary, Mother of God.”
Jesus is God, and so his mother is the mother of God. This feast affirms that Jesus is divine, and in no way sees Mary as divine.

[Googler]

She is venerated as Mary Most Holy, Immaculata, our beloved Mother of Heaven, and our Sovereign Queen. Countless different invocations she rightly has, each one of which reflects a different aspect of her mission, even though all of them flow from her Divine Maternity.

She was the Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which means, according to Catholic doctrine, that she is the Mother of God.
She was, therefore, the most perfect creature ever to exist, noble enough to give Him the human nature He received from her.
Since she is the Mother of God, she is also the Mother of all men, and, therefore, she is Our Mother.
We can have recourse to her in any circumstance, even the most indefensible ones.

Perhaps this passage of the Apocalypse could be applied to the mercy of Our Lady for us:

APOCALYPSE - Chapter 3
8. I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee an open door, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

I have read the early reformers on this issue and it’s quite interesting. You can find it via a google search.

From the article:
“One final point. It is interesting to note that two of the early Protestant leaders, Martin Luther and John Calvin, taught Mary’s divine maternity and even condemned those who denied this essential truth”

Mary, mother of God,
pray for us.

Mary.

Do you believe Jesus was God at 6 months old?

Do you believe Jesus was God at 6 months in the womb?

Mary carried Jesus, Jesus is God, Mary is the mother of God.

If not then Jesus was just a man who turned into God…how does that work?

Tim Staples demonstrates here why proclaiming Mary as the Mother of God is so important…

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of what we are saying here. Jesus revealed to us the essential truth that God exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in his inner life. For Martin, God would be father by analogy in relation to the humanity of Christ, but not in the eternal divine relations; hence, he is not the eternal Father. So, not only did Dr. Martin end up losing Jesus, the eternal Son; he lost the Father as well!
