Textbook Lesson

Expanding Thoughts on Lesson

  • Theotokos and the Church
    • St. Mary bore Christ in a similar way that the Church presents Christ to us/the world. Connect how we call St. Mary Theotokos because she bore God. She brought God in the world in the flesh. Use this as a jumping point to say, "now the Church has a similar role as St. Mary. We have to bring Christ for all to encounter and see."
