How Well Do You Know Your Mother?
She is the most famous woman in history.
She has captivated the hearts, minds, and creativity of historians, saints, artists, and common people throughout the ages. She is singularly loved and reverenced by devout Catholics all over the world.
Yet we know relatively little about her…or do we?
Did you know that Our Lady’s role in salvation history was actually prophesied in the Old Testament?
Or that her brief appearances in the New Testament speak volumes about her role in Christ’s mission and His own love and devotion to her?
Learn all this and so much more about Our Lady in this month’s edition of A Year of Devotions with Fr. Kirby.
May is the month of Mary, so spend it getting to know your Mother!
What Is A Year of Devotions with Fr. Kirby?
Throughout the year, the Church offers us not only her glorious feast days, but entire months of devotion built around those feasts.
By means of these devotions, she nourishes and enriches our faith, pours out special graces upon our souls, and lifts our minds to the contemplation and love of the eternal truths of our Faith.
Here at Good Catholic, we want to bring you the monthly devotions of the Church in all their beauty and splendor. So we partnered with Fr. Jeffrey Kirby—host of our beloved Morning Offering podcast—to bring you a monthly miniseries introducing you to each and every one of these devotions.
How Does A Year of Devotions Work?
Throughout 2024, we’ll be releasing one miniseries a month focused on that month’s devotion. Each miniseries will consist of five 10-15 minute videos from Fr. Kirby.
We won’t be sending you reminder emails as with our other series—you’ll have access to all five videos at once and you can go at your own pace. Watch a video a day, a video a week, or just go ahead and binge watch them all at once!
One thing to note is that you must subscribe to each month individually. We’ll have the current month’s miniseries listed at the top of our Series page and other months listed at the bottom. Check out the full calendar of topics below!
