The Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Aug. 5

The Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in the 431 proclaimed Mary as the Mother of God to show that Jesus was not only fully God but also fully human as well.

Soon after the council,
The Pope dedicated a church to her honor in Rome.
The church of St. Mary Major,
The oldest Church dedicated to Mary in the Western world.

This feast in her honor,
Is a good day to dedicate ourselves to her,
As did Jesus Who called her Mom!


God Bless
