One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Fr. Lovasik, S.V.D., provides children with simple explanations of the fest days of Mary and her role in God's plan of salvation. Mary plays a very special role in God's plan of salvation. Chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus, she is an important part of bringing God's love and salvation to the world. When the angel Gabriel came to Mary with the message that she would have a child, Mary didn't fully understand, but she said "yes" to God's plan. This "yes" is called her Fiat, and it showed her trust in God and her willingness to follow His will.

By agreeing to be the mother of Jesus, Mary helped bring the Savior into the world. Jesus, her son, would grow up to teach us about God's love, die on the cross for our sins, and rise again to open the gates of Heaven for us. Mary's faith and her choice to say "yes" made all this possible.
Mary was there for Jesus through every part of His life. She cared for Him as a baby, supported Him as He taught people, and stayed with Him even at the cross. Her love and loyalty remind us to trust in God and to stay close to Jesus, even during difficult times.
Mary's example teaches us to have faith, kindness, and obedience. She is a loving mother to all of us, and Catholics often ask her to pray for us and guide us. Mary's role shows us how to follow God and live in His love, helping us grow closer to Jesus.

• Mother of God
