The Blessed Virgin Mary
Marian titles and the Church-approved apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.
Mary, in the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, was preserved free from all stain of original sin.
Mary invoked as the one who, by her intercession, patiently unties the knots of sin, difficulty, and broken relationships in the lives of her children.
Mary is honored as the Mother of God because the one she bore is the eternal Son of God made man. This is the most fundamental of all Marian titles.
