Mary--Virgin, Mother, and Queen
Book Description
Father Mitch Pacwa invites Catholics on a transformative journey through Scripture to discover the profound role of Mary in salvation history. This comprehensive Bible study guide explores how both Old and New Testament passages illuminate Mary's significance as Virgin, Mother, and Queen.
Drawing from ancient promises and prophetic imagery, Pacwa examines key biblical texts that reveal Mary's place in God's plan. Readers will explore the Genesis promise of a woman whose offspring would triumph over evil, discover how the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant prefigures Mary, and reflect on pivotal moments including Mary's acceptance of God's call, her presence at the wedding in Cana, her witness at the crucifixion, and the mysterious woman of Revelation.
Each chapter provides essential background context alongside practical study exercises designed to deepen understanding. Thoughtful reflection questions and discussion prompts make this resource equally valuable for parish groups seeking meaningful Bible study or individuals pursuing personal spiritual growth.
Pacwa's approach combines scholarly insight with accessible teaching, helping readers uncover layers of meaning often overlooked in familiar passages. Through careful examination of Scripture, he demonstrates how devotion to Mary naturally draws believers closer to Christ.
Whether you're new to Marian devotion or seeking to enrich your existing faith practice, this study guide offers a structured pathway to encounter the Mother of Jesus through the lens of biblical revelation.
