Mary, mother of Jesus
The young woman of Nazareth chosen to give birth to Jesus, who responded to God’s call with humble faith.
An angel told Mary she would conceive by the Holy Spirit and bear the Son of God. Her response—‘I am the Lord’s servant’—and her song of praise (the Magnificat) reveal deep trust.
Mary appears throughout the Gospels, from Bethlehem to the cross, where Jesus entrusted her to the apostle John. She is honored as a model of faith and obedience.
