Mass Times for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Holy Day of Obligation
Mary as the Mother of God is one of the four Marian Dogma’s of the Church that we must believe. Here is a summary of this Marian Dogma:
Mary is truly the Mother of God as proclaimed by the Council of Ephesus in 431. This belief consists of two key truths. The first truth is Mary contributed fully to the formation of the human nature of Jesus Christ as would any other mother. The second truth is that Mary is truly The Mother of God in that she gave birth to the second person of the Blessed Trinity, that is Jesus’ divine nature.
