Virgin Mary in the Scripture – Nicholas Lebish

Nicholas Lebish in this series teaches the Biblical foundation of what the church believes and teaches about the Blessed Virgin Mary, not only to know the Blessed Mother even more in a personal way, but also to understand her roll in salvation history.

CCC 487. What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ, and what it teaches about Mary illumines in turn its faith in Christ.
CCC 488. "God sent forth his Son", but to prepare a body for him, he wanted the free co-operation of a creature. For this, from all eternity God chose for the mother of his Son a daughter of Israel, a young Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, "a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary": The Father of mercies willed that the Incarnation should be preceded by assent on the part of the predestined mother, so that just as a woman had a share in the coming of death, so also should a woman contribute to the coming of life.
