Mary & The Bible;

Purgatory
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to His
mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple
took her into his own home.
- John 19:26-27

Called in the Gospels “the mother of Jesus”, Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the
prompting of the Spirit and even

before the birth of her son, as “the mother of my Lord”. In fact, the One whom she
conceived as man by the Holy Spirit,

who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father's eternal
Son, the second person of the

Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly “Mother of God”
(Theotokos).
