The Blessed Mother
Dear Bro. Ignatius,
I have been asked all the time by non-catholics where it says in the Bible that Mary is the mother to all of us and how is it that she is our mother. Is it correct to say that because Jesus said to the disciple "here is your mother", that she is our mother also, or is that wrong to say that? I am bit confused myself!!
God Bless,

Dear Slavica: You have it right. That is the Biblical reference to Mary being our Mother. This Biblical reference is confirmed by that fact that the Church Fathers taught this officially.
