Why Celebrate Mary, Mother of God?

Today, on the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, let us honor the Blessed Mother by attending Mass and offering a Rosary, especially as a family. Mary's fiat, her "yes" to God’s plan to bear and give birth to our Savior, Jesus, inspires us to embrace faith and trust in God as we begin the new year. The Glorious Mysteries, which include Mary's Assumption and Coronation, are recited on Wednesdays. All the more reason to set aside time to celebrate this special day with the Rosary, even if it’s just two decades. Swipe through the images to learn more about Mary, Mother of God.
