MORE THAN MAY: Eyes on My Mother

The theme strongly suggests that the appreciation of Mary not be placed in "just another devotion" of the church, but rather... a deliberate focus of heart towards the call of Christ THROUGH THE LENS OF MARY.  This presentation will underline what Scriptures point to, and the early Church Fathers describe in numerous ways---MARY IS A MUST!  Throughout the series of presentations, there will be a number of opportunities for all to probe and explore the meaning of Christ's sacred command..."Behold, your mother".
