DID THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY REMAIN SINLESS AND A PERPETUAL VIRGIN?
The Catholic Church teaches that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Mother of God, was a Virgin throughout her whole life.
But how do we know this is true?
Father Mark Wharton takes us through
Sacred Scripture and Church teaching
so we can understand this truth
and what it means for our own lives.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
During a Sunday Mass in another Parish, someone collapsed.
A nurse in the congregation pinched his nose and breathed into his mouth while another nurse pushed up and down on his chest.
They saw life return.
It all happened during the Creed
when they were about to pray,
'We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.'
In our gospel for Pentecost Sunday
we hear proclaimed that Jesus breathed
on His disciples and said to them,
Receive the Holy Spirit' (John 20).
In the Book of Genesis we learn that God's creative Spirit was at work bringing new life from the very beginning (1:1-2).
In Luke's account of the Annunciation
the Holy Spirit overshadows Mary
in the same way as the Spirit hovered
over the waters at creation (1:35).
Later, having experienced the
Holy Spirit descending on him 3:22),
Jesus says that he has been anointed
by the Spirit to announce the good news,
that is, to bring the breath of life.
And this Spirit, sent by the risen Lord to fill the earth with God's power, is with us always.
Furthermore, the Spirit is actually
in us, not outside us:
But if the Spirit truly has come,
if we really are all filled with the Spirit,
filled with the giver of life, why are there
so many signs to the contrary?
Why does our world so often seem to be filled with overwhelming violence and hatred?
Is the face of the earth really being renewed?
The Spirit, through us, can work wonders and bring new life to various relationships if only we would say 'yes' to the Spirit's promptings.
The life-giving Spirit can effect more
than we can ever hope or imagine
in our parish communities,
neighbourhoods, workplaces and homes.
The signs of the Spirit are, as Paul
reminds us, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:22-23).
If we are overwhelmed by signs
to the contrary then perhaps
we've stopped breathing.
Who will be the breath of life for us?
