Something About Mary

[Theoketos]

"For Catholics, Mary literally embodies what it means to be fully redeemed by Jesus Christ and deified by grace, first here on Earth and then in the glory of heaven: she is the prefect Icon of the Church and the Icon of the prefected Church. Assertain the truth about her and the rest will eventually fall into place"

(The Rev.) Thomas M Kocik taken From "The First Things"
