Mary's Story

Mary, the mother of Jesus tells us her story. We read her words in the first two chapters of the Gospel according to Luke. Luke explains why and how he went about writing his Gospel. Mary is a central piece of that reason. As we think of Jesus it is very important that we have a right understanding of Mary, his mother. She was the mother of his flesh, but even more she was the person who agreed with God's divine intention that God would incarnate his son Jesus in the DNA and RNA of a woman named Mary.
