The Virgin Mary
Mary was born in Jerusalem; her parents were Joachim and Ann. Mary grew up in Nazareth. She lived in a small family house. She worked like the other young girls in her village. She baked bread, carried water from the town well for cleaning and cooking. , the well still carries her name.. The people of Nazareth had a strong Jewish faith. They believed that they are God’s chosen people. They also believed that the land belonged to them; it was given to their ancestors since they were led out of Egypt by Moses.
Mary’s name is seen many times in the gospel as the mother of Jesus.
Mary is a role model for Catholic mothers. The Catholic Church teaches us what she received from the Lord through the spirit of God, that Mary the Mother of Jesus was a virgin before and after giving birth to Jesus. Mary was a virgin who was engaged to her fiancé, Joseph, a carpenter. Mary and Joseph were young Jews, the Holy Spirit comes and visits Mary and tells her that she will give birth to a son and she is to name him Jesus. The two marry

but do not sleep together. The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream as well. Mary tells Joseph that she was pregnant laid their baby boy Jesus and Mary laid her new son in a manger in Bethlehem. Joseph had another dream and an Angel said to him, takes Jesus and Mary to Egypt because King Herod is killing all the first born babies.
Right away Joseph took Jesus and Mary to Egypt. Joseph stayed in Egypt with Mary and Jesus until King Herod died. Mary is an important figure in catholic faith. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is probably the most influential woman in the history of the world. At the moment of her acceptance, she became the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of God. She is the Mother of Jesus, and the greatest of all saints.
Mary is often talked about in her Perpetual Virginity, her being The Mother of God, She never loses or question her faith, most people would question God, on why they are going through difficult times, but not Mary, her faith in God is very strong. After Jesus ascended into heaven, Mary soon followed they were seen by the apostles

Mary Fish was born into a Puritan world. Her parents, Joseph and Rebecca Fish, raised her using standards that dated back to the Old Plymouth colony. She was taught to remain humble and pious. She learned to hold fast to her beliefs.
Mary became a free woman on the first of September 1812 upon receiving her certificate of freedom. After living with him since 1809, she married Jonathan in 1817 and lived in Illawarra where they raised 21 children.
Mary MacKillop was born in Fitzroy, Melbourne on January the 15th 1842. She was the first child to Alexander MacKillop and Flora MacDonald. Mary was one child out of 8 and spent most of her childhood years looking after and acting like a second mother to her siblings. The MacKillop family were quite poor so at the young age of 14, Mary got herself a job as a governess and as teacher at a Portland school. All the money Mary earned went towards her families everyday living. While working as a governess, Mary met Father Julian Tension Woods. By the time Mary had reached the age of 15 she had decided that she wanted to be a nun. She also wanted to devote her life to the poor and less fortunate. So upon meeting Father Julian Tension Woods she told him her hopes and dreams, and together they decided to set up a school. In 1861, they worked together and opened Australia's first free Catholic school. At the time only the rich could afford schooling. But at the school Mary opened anyone was welcome. Mary was a great teacher and became very popular within the community. Although Mary was very pleased with her work she still felt a religious calling. So Mary and Father Woods started their own order, 'The Sisters of St. Joseph.' In 1867 Mary then moved to Adelaide where she opened another school. Before long there were 17 schools open across Australia. Mary's followers grew and by 1909 she had followers all over Australia. Mary later died on the 8th of August 1909.
In her embracement of the principle as Christ as Mother in the Second placement of Trinity she invokes a mothers unconditional love of her children. We are reminded of the passages in Isaiah of the Lord’s feeding his children as a mother feeds her children at her bosom. Providing the manna they need. This invokes New Testament passages as well as Christ teaches we will be provided manna through Him. In her theology of Motherhood we see Christ as our Mother in his birthing of our new creation and rebirth in our acceptance of Him as Savior during the Passion of crucifixion.
Warner's book details the special importance of the Virgin Mary throughout Christianity and explores her religious and secular meaning. She discusses such things as the Church's attitude toward virginity, the role model of the Virgin martyr, the Virgin's relics, and her role as an intercessor with God.
There was a Roman and Jewish trial. The Roman trial was because Jesus did not pay taxes to Caesar. and for being a “troublemaker” in Luke’s gospel. The Jewish trial was because Jesus called himself the Messiah. Yet with everything Mary stuck by his side. That puts a theory in everyone’s mind that she loved him very much. Mary was an important figure at the cross. Mary was among a few women who wept seeing Jesus suffer and die. In John’s gospel particularly in 19:25 “standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene”(Bible Verses: Mary Magdalene in Scripture). Mark’s gospel says that Mary was in the distance with the other women.
Mary Tudor or Queen Mary I of England was infamously known as Bloody Mary. While many believe Bloody Mary was an evil monster, others believe she was a great queen because of her many accomplishments. Mary was actually a good devoted Catholic others still to this day believe she was an evil woman, but with these interesting facts it will be determined that Mary was a good queen.

St. Maria Goretti was an amazing woman and faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Maria had a tough and short life, facing many struggles. Through it all she showed her faith and strength. Knowing God would always be with her, she was always peaceful. Also, she was one of the youngest canonized saints in all of the Catholic Church. I believe all young people can look up to Maria, and have great respect for her.
Women in the Catholic Church take on many roles, from parishioner to laywoman to nuns. Women parishioners help prepare for the mass. They can be lectors, choir members, CCD instructors, etc. Laywomen “…are the Catholic women traditionally permitted certain ministerial responsibilities (Wessinger, 244).” They work in churches, schools, prisons, etc. Nuns dedicate their lives to religious devotion. They take three vows; poverty, chasity, and obedience. They are to live simple lifestyles. They live their lives teaching others and helping others.

Saint Rose loved God very much throughout her life and showed her faith in many ways. When she was just a little girl, she built a shrine all by herself in order to demonstrate her great love to God and to pray every day in. she also carried a cross as big as her all around her garden to remember the sufferings of our Lord's dreadful journey to Calvary. When she grew older, her mother soon disapproved of Saint
From a very early age, Mary’s life has been shaped by a kaleidoscope of experiences that included joy and sorrow: loss and gain. But it has been these experiences, coupled with the strong value system inherited from her parents, that led Mary to a 25-year career at a Christian adoption agency. Known there for her integrity, wisdom, and dedication to helping children in need, she soon found herself serving as director of that organization.
