Mary-Virgin, Mother, and Queen: A Bible Study Guide for Catholics

by Fr. Mitch Pacwa

Overview

"Pray for us O Holy mother of God"

Fr. Pacwa brings his devotion to the Blessed Mother alive for every Catholic in the next in his series of wildly popular Bible studies. Mary - Virgin, Mother, and Queen: A Bible Study Guide for Catholics looks at Old and New Testament texts that are relevant to the Marian doctrine, including:

• God's promise in Genesis that a woman's offspring would strike the head of the serpent
• The Old Testament Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of Mary
• Mary's fiat
• The wedding at Cana
• Mary at the cross
• The woman and the dragon in Revelation
• And more

Mary - Virgin, Mother, and Queen is perfect for use as a parish Bible study, or for individual learning. Each chapter includes background and study exercises, and questions for reflection and discussion.

Fr. Mitch enlightens, clarifies, and challenges Catholics to a renewed devotion to the Blessed Mother, through whom we are drawn nearer to Christ.
