Mary’s divine motherhood broadens the Christmas spotlight. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to God’s invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26-38). Elizabeth proclaims: “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the
fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that
the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:42-43, emphasis added). Mary’s role as mother of God places her in a unique position in God’s redemptive plan.
Without naming Mary, Paul asserts that “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4). Paul’s further statement that “God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out ‘Abba, Father!’” helps us realize that Mary is mother to all the brothers and sisters of Jesus.

The Scripture testifies that Jesus is Divine, the Son of God, the Word of God becomes flesh to dwell among us. The Scripture also testifies that Mary gave birth to Jesus. Thus, the Council of Ephesus in 431 declares the Holy Virgin Mary, is the “MOTHER OF GOD”, THEOTOKOS.
This designation of Mary is informed by revelation in Scripture. In Luke 1:30-32, 35, the Archangel Gabriel, proclaimed, “Mary . You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High . The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow . the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.” Additionally, in Luke 1:42-43, Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, declared, “Of all women, you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?”
