Mary Is the Mother of God and Christ Is Truly Present In The Eucharist

Angie Allen of Catholic Exchange argues that Christians should reaffirm the truths that Mary is the Mother of God and that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. Allen notes that some Christians deny these doctrines and emphasizes that reflecting on these mysteries should inspire gratitude.

To support the claim that Mary is the Mother of God, Allen cites the words of the Apostle St. Paul in Col. 2:9 that divinity lives in Jesus in bodily form. Because Jesus is both fully God and fully human, his body cannot be separated from his divinity. Allen also references the greeting from Elizabeth in Lk. 1:43, where she refers to Mary as the mother of her Lord.

The article describes the incarnation as a mystery that can only be understood through faith. Allen explains that the eternal God voluntarily entered time and space through the womb of Mary to achieve salvation.
