| dc.description.abstract | Mary has been controversial in religious circles and has caused many differences among Christians. Yet the Scripture indicates in the Canticle of Mary that "...behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed." (Lk 1:48 AB). That Mary will be called blessed by all ages has not been realized. In Kenya, many who Aar,- have left the catholic faith have cited Mary as one of their reasons. Due to the fact that the Catholic Church has placed much emphasis on Mary, even going to the extent of erecting her statue in the church, has led many to conclude that she is worshipped. Furthermore, she has been seen as glorified more than Christ. While this has erroneously been misinterpreted, it is true that ignorance of her through study of scripture is evident. As a result, many have not moved from the level of devotion 4 to a personal relationship with Mary. To enter into a personal relationship, knowing the other is important. Mary is 2 a woman who lived in her own time. There,has- been Nally generations g6ne by and farin 4-79 4. only through a revisit to .the available information on her could we appreciate Mary as a person. This is only possible by studying the Tradition, the Holy Scripture, and the Magisterium. | en_US |
