The Gospel According To Mary
Christmas Is For The Young... Whatever Their Age
16 Christmas Sermon Stories
Several years ago, the famous statue by Michelangelo, the Pietá, was vandalized, and the face and one of the arms of the figure of Mary were damaged. A writer observed that this episode was a parable of the violence done to Mary by the church wherein Roman Catholics have idolized Mary and Protestants have ignored her. Without any attempt to make Mary a fourth person of the godhead nor to set her up as a goddess, we need to look seriously at the role she has played in the life of our Lord.
