Today on the very first day of the Week, Month and the New Year – 2018, we celebrate the great Feast – the Solemnity of the Divine Motherhood of Mary – Mary as the Mother of God. This solemnity as it were means precisely that: Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ – who is both God and man – is also the Mother of God.
