Understanding Why Mary Is the Mother of God ~ Fr. Armand de Malleray, FSSP

About this sermon

How can Mary be the Mother of God if God has always existed? This Catholic homily explains Mary’s Divine Motherhood through the mystery of Jesus Christ: one divine Person, truly God and truly man. Mary did not give Jesus His divinity. She gave Him His humanity—and the Son she bore is God the Word. Her title, Theotokos, therefore proclaims the truth about Christ Himself. Beginning with the Council of Ephesus in 431, this sermon explores the permanent union of Christ’s humanity and divinity. Even during His death, when His human soul and body were separated from each other, both remained united to His divine Person. The homily also explains why Mary’s glory comes from her Son and how her spiritual motherhood helps us grow closer to Jesus. It concludes with our adoption as children of God through Holy Baptism and a call to rejoice in the mystery of the Incarnation. 00:00 Sponsor: Real Estate for Life 00:22 Opening prayer 00:31 Ephesus and Mary’s Divine Motherhood 01:14 How can Mary be the Mother of God? 02:09 Mary did not give God His divinity 02:40 What Mary’s title teaches about Jesus 03:39 Mary’s Son is truly God 05:17 Christ’s humanity is permanently united to Him 06:49 What happened at Christ’s death? 07:45 His soul and body remained united to His divinity 09:03 The Annunciation and the Incarnation 10:37 The dignity of Christ’s human nature 11:18 Why “Mother of God” matters 12:41 Royal motherhood: an illustrative analogy 14:31 Mary’s glory comes from her Son 15:17 Mary’s spiritual motherhood 16:20 Baptism and becoming children of God 16:50 Rejoicing in the truth about Jesus Christ Subscribe to Sensus Fidelium for Catholic sermons and spiritual formation.
